انتہا پسندی کے اسباب اور علاج

حافظ صدام حسین حسنیؔ

Abstract

Islam is religion of peace and it teaches to be moderate. Islam offers detailed golden rules for leading a life which enables mankind to establish its individual and collective life on moderate and stable bases. Extremism has no connection with any religion; it is a behavior which may develop in any person regardless of cast, creed and color. Islam condemns every ideology that nurtures extremist thoughts against any political or religious group. Extremism paves the way of violence, anarchy and terrorism.  This world would never be an ideal place for mankind until and unless extremism is rooted out completely. There are many reasons behind extremism which include injustice, malice, poverty and unemployment, ego, western tyranny, desecration of Islamic values and ignorance. For exterminating extremism, it is mandatory to establish a society by following the life of Prophet (SAW) as a model. An exemplary society which broadens the individual way of thinking, propagates moderation, teaches to love each other and gives a kinesthetic approach for the respect of humanity. A practical demonstration of inter-sectarian and inter- religious harmony is ardently required. Differences like religious and sectarian, political and social, financial and civic have to be resolved through an enduring and moderate way. A culture of patience, forgiveness, brotherhood, and equality has to be adopted that may help eradicating violence, animosity, inequality, extremism, and terrorism from our society.
