Islamic Extremism is a term used to describe the actions and beliefs of violent Islamic activists, though many mainstream Muslims would say 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.

Extreme is a simple english word, which needs no further explanations, there term extremist and muslim extremist should be distinguished. Extremist can be applied for peoples involving in criminal acts not necessarily the Muslims. And if you translate muslims extremist into english, it would sound peacefull extremist. Every muslim should be an extremist to be a good Muslim, every christian should be an extremist to be a good Christian, but it the western media which manipulates the terminology and use it against Islam. Quran tells us to enter into islam whole heartedly so we should be extremist, what is wrong in being extremely kind, extremely merciful and extremely peaceful.
