I think its also difficult to describe what extremist is as well. What seems extreme to one person may be perfectly normal to another, the same applies to different countries and cultures as well. Often times when we describe something as extreme (we see people labeled extremist in politics/media everyday) we are describing something that just seems foreign or unusual to ourselves or ideology. A lot of what some people think of as extreme is often times very common and we see it everyday.

The question then becomes what really is an extremist view? Would a more appropriate label be outsider views? Something so different from the rest of it environment that its uniqueness forces people to label it as extreme? I don't know just thinking with my fingers I guess.
