| The so called 'Extremists' are dubbed as Muslims legally or according to their origin which is usually in a Muslim society. Thus the name 'Islamic Extremists'. Actions performed by these extremists include but are not limited to Suicide bombing, attacking innocent bystanders, giving harsh punishments (death, stoning etc) to people for things such as petty theft or forcible converting or often killing non-Muslims, all of which go against Islamic teachings and make them non-Muslims according to them. | |||
| The origin of such extremists is debated amongst the various communities of the world without and solid conclusion. Speculations include Madrassas, terrorist training camps, bribery, brainwashing and even Islam itself. Many states claim that such people are a result of brainwashing in unethical Madrassas and being paid by other organisations. Such organisations often refer to other countries even though there is no solid proof or reason to do so. It is claimed the such counters have made Islam an enemy and recent incidents such as the 'Fake Quran' controversy have added fuel to the fire. Many states have also found out that many of the suicide bombers who were interrogated admitted that they were paid money to support their starving families or to simply press the button on a jacket(unaware that they, along with many bystanders will die in doing so). Amusingly, said people who paid them wore black suits. However, there is no proof leading to which organisation/people pay them. | |||
| Statements made here about Extremists being non-Muslims are in accordance to the British Council and the international O'Level standard. | |||

Islamic Extremism is a misused term used to describe the actions and beliefs of violent and so called Islamic activists, even though according to the Quran, they are not Islamic at all. Another term for this may be "jihadist".
Its definition is debated, but it is distinct from Islamic fundamentalism and Islamism in that neither of those necessarily denote or condone violence.
