extremism as any attitude, action or reaction that leads to the absolute
deviation from the norms that make human coexistence possible. It is the
malfunction or the breaking of the valve that calibrates our emotions,
intellect, decency, bigotry, greed, and self-righteousness.</p> <P class="MsoNormal">Today extremism manifests in all fronts of life. On the
religious front, the promotion of puritanical zealotry and the moralization of
hate continue to divide faith communities and set the stage for religious wars.
On the sociopolitical front, tribalism, ethno-centrism, patriotism and such
have been galvanizing brutal violence and paving the way for genocidal
campaigns.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_3161.shtml">Furthermore, on the political front, the concept that a
nation has the exclusive right to wage war against another under the
“preemptive war doctrine” and/or impose “regime change” has paved the way for
brutal occupation, radicalized insurgency, civil war and chaos.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_3161.shtml">‘holier-than-thou’ attitude</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_3161.shtml">‘mightier-than-thou’
