Extremism is not a monopoly!

I completely agree, but the danger of extremism is not exclusively monopolized by Islamists. If we look around we see many other extreme practiced ideolgies in the work. Religion, any religion, is blinding. The more "pious" you are, the more INTOLERANT to others you become.

Again, I agree with Mr. Hanscom, but tunnel vision is not wise for the long term.
