Difference between bold & extremism


DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING BOLD AND EXTREMISM:

An Islamic reformer or revivalist has great responsibility on his shoulders. He has to watch his steps and always keep a close check on himself, and be willing to adjust himself according to the sincere advice/criticism of others. However, many people fail in this respect. At the start, they are able to keep a stable pace in their movement but with time they lose control and become very extreme in their approach towards issues. It should be noted that there is a difference between being bold and becoming an extremist. Islam is a moderate religion and a religion for peace, and it also calls for mutual advice. Hence, this is the time when the sincere advice of others matters which should be welcomed. Unfortunately, such reformers think they are perfect and carry out their campaigns with hate instead of calming down. This clearly confirms the notion that such entities are backed by certain elements for their own agenda. And this is the time, when we should be wary of their approach and back off! ~ Roman Ahsan.
