	Threat posed to democracy by extremist parties and movements in Europe
		Extremist parties and movements are often oligarchies with a strong hierarchical structure which do not apply democratic principles internally.
		The growth of extremist movements depends on the stereotyped explanation of such hostile circumstances, the definition of the enemy in the form of a conspiracy by global rulers, placing responsibility for their own miserable conditions on target minority groups which are different in terms of nationality, ethnic origin, religion, colour, culture or language.
		Not all movements are extremist, but almost all extremists' circles and organisations intend to become movements mobilising their supporters and sympathizers.

	Extremism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term "extremist" is used to describe groups and individuals who have become radicalized, in some way, even though the term radical originally meant to go to the root of a (social) problem.
		The terms "extremist" or "radical" are often used to label those who advocate or use violence against the will of the larger social body, but it is also used by some to describe those who advocate or use violence to enforce the will of the social body, such as a government or majority constitutency.
		The act of labeling a person, group or action as "extremist" is sometimes claimed to be a technique to further a political goal—especially by governments seeking to defend the status quo, or political centrists.

	Islamic Extremists: How Do They Mobilize Support? by Judy Barsalou: Special Reports: U.S. Institute of Peace
		Extremist groups in the Middle East and South Asia display a diversity of motives and methods of operation, reflecting the widely varying circumstances in which they have arisen and operate.
		Extremist groups have also achieved significant success in their efforts to ban alcohol consumption and confine women to the private domain of their homes, where they are subject to the authority of their male relations.
		Members of extremist groups often report on the "glamour" of being members of such groups, and of becoming "addicted" to the adrenaline-driven excitement of their activities, which they say becomes a way of life.

	Responding to Extremist Speech: 20 Frequently Asked Questions
		For example, if an extremist puts bogus license plates with anti-government slogans on his car, he may be cited for violating motor vehicle laws even though the plates themselves contain an expressive element.
		The government may not ban an extremist group from such a program on the grounds that the group's participation would stain the image of the state Department of Transportation or give the false appearance that the government endorses the group's message.
		To treat the extremists differently would be to discriminate based on the content of their message.

		This is to say that the religious extremist believes that he possesses an unadulterated, more accurate, and likewise “fundamentalist” rendition of the holy texts.
		However, for most, an extremist is one whose viewpoint and deeds are situated on the outermost fringes of the mainstream.
		For extremists on both sides of the conflict, any compromise on these uncompromising ideals would signify a capitulation and a failure to uphold what they believe to be divine legislation.

	FOCUS ON ANTI-GOVERNMENT EXTREMIST MOVEMENT
		While many anti-government extremists reject the blatant hatred espoused by neo-Nazi groups or the Ku Klux Klan, the movement allows more subtle bigots to use Jews, Blacks and other minorities as scapegoats for the nation's problems, both real and imagined.
		On the outermost fringe of the anti-government extremist movement are independents who operate beyond the purview of organized militia groups.
		Right-wing anti-government extremists often view law enforcement agents as the foot soldiers in a federal plot to impose tyranny.

	The Moderate as Extremist
		Probably the most common stereotype is that of the "dogmatic extremist" who only reads and views things that agree with his/her position and either avoids or automatically rejects anything which does not agree with that position regardless of the merits of their argument.
		In fact, "extremists" are generally less dogmatic than "moderates." Dogmatic people are unlikely to change their views on anything, but almost all "extremists" start out believing a more mainstream ideology and later change to a different philosophy.
		The validity of a philosophy has no automatic relationship to how "extremist" it is. Whether it is "middle of the road" or "extremist" is irrelevant, ideas should be judged on the basis of their merits NOT how "extremist" they are.

		These are Jewish extremists who believe that all of Palestine -- not to mention some territories beyond -- is part of the "historic land of Israel" promised by God to the Jews and it is their holy duty to resist expulsion even if it costs them their lives.
		Apart from a fringe of right-wing extremists in Israel the world has been looking forward to the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza as the first concrete step towards the resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict, at the heart of which resides the Palestinian cause.
		One might further remind him that not only is the occupation a flagrant breach of international law, but also that the Permanent Court of War Crimes has ruled that for an occupying power to transfer a portion of its populace to the territories under its occupation is itself a crime.

	Fox criticizes 'extremist' politics - Boston.com
		President Vicente Fox said Tuesday that Mexicans do not support "extremist" and "messianic" politics, a thinly veiled slap at a leftist candidate who has launched street blockades to press for a full recount of last month's presidential election.

		Fox's comments came a day after he told foreign journalists that his ruling-party ally Felipe Calderon was the "clear winner" of the disputed July 2 vote -- his strongest statement yet about the political crisis that has gripped Mexico for weeks.

		For it is one of the major reasons Americans continue to suffer under the extremist and bizarre way of life known as the socialistic welfare state and the regulated society.

		According to the introduction, an extremist movement, group, or individual is one who pursues "policies or practices outside the societal norm," often through violence.
		The extremist agenda transcends personal gain and seeks to change the status quo.
		Now, while it qualifies under the Author's contention that extremist parties are 'deviations from the normal' (my paraphrase), it shows the uselessness of such a definition of extremism.

	Rise of Domestic Terrorism and Its Relation to United States Armed Forces
		Racially-motivated extremist and terrorist groups in the United States, especially those of today, tend to utilize religious justifications and "teachings" for their violent actions, and all indications are that this trend will continue at an accelerating rate into the foreseeable future.
		Military personnel involvement in extremist and hate-groups, specifically "hard-core" white supremacist groups is estimated to be similar to that degree of involvement that exists in the general population.
		The ability of extremist groups, whether actively violent or merely vocal at present, to recruit active-duty military personnel poses a serious threat to efforts by the military leadership to control such activities.

	Are you a Right Wing Radical Extremist? - Sean Hannity Discussion
		If you believe that freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion and that freedom of religious speech does not include Jim Jones, David Koresh or Muslim extremist who preach killing innocent people as the center-piece of their doctrine, then you are highly intelligent and you my friend, are a right-wing radical.
		If you believe in the concept of right and wrong, good and evil, self-reliance and self-governance, the constitution as it was written, personal responsibility, the rights endowed by our creator as established in the Declaration of Independence, then you are no longer part of the "mainstream" in America, according to today’s democrats.
		You are an extremist, a right-wing ideologue, and here is the latest class title for people like you, an "absolutist".

	village voice > news > The Homegrown Anthrax Blitz by Ginger Adams Otis
		The upcoming trial of anti-abortion extremist James Charles Kopp (a/k/a the Atomic Dog), who is accused of killing Dr. Slepian, may change the DOJ's position.
		Though the judge in that case did not find sufficient proof of a conspiracy, the DOJ did uncover evidence of a number of tiny "networks" running through the extremist movement—an arrangement not unlike the one used by Osama bin Laden's Al Quaeda.
		Also arrested on charges related to the case were two Brooklyn extremists, who allegedly helped Kopp elude European authorities and passed communications to the fugitive from other members of the movement.

		Sami Ahmed and the others were captured late Wednesday near Baqouba, a hotbed of anti-coalition activity in the Sunni Triangle, north of Baghdad, said Maj. Josslyn Aberle of the Tikrit-based 4th Infantry Division.
		The statement did not say when al-Zarqawi was supposedly killed, but U.S. jets bombed strongholds of the extremist Ansar al-Islam in the north last April as Saddam Hussein's regime was collapsing.
		In what appeared to be a nod to the criticism, U.S. administrator L. Paul Bremer said the coalition would help strengthen border security, saying it was "increasingly apparent" that "a large part of terrorism" comes from outside Iraq.

		Al-Ghurabaa' (who are assumed to be the protesters on Friday afternoon) have a history of crashing SPT's demonstrations; they actually used to call SPT "close to becoming munafiqeen" (hypocrites) on their site.
