This document discusses religious extremism. It defines religious extremism as an ideology that is far outside mainstream attitudes or violates moral standards. Religious extremism can occur between different religions like Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, or within a single religion. Characteristics of religious extremists include a sense of righteousness, confirmation bias, and idealizing historical figures. Impacts include increasing hatred, chaos, diverting focus from learning to attacking others, and damaging the image of whole religions. Examples given are attacks by Israelis on Palestinians, the 9/11 attacks, and wars in the Middle East. Suggested solutions are promoting peaceful coexistence between religions, awareness campaigns, and encouraging learning over conflict.
