Inside the Extremist Era
The article argues that extremism is no longer confined to armed religious groups. It also includes authorities that place themselves above accountability, parties that equate the nation with their own supporters, and intellectuals who excuse their own groups for conduct they condemn in their opponents. What these forms share is a monopoly on truth and a denial of equal rights. The article warns that weakening institutions and citizenship, and fueling hatred through digital platforms, widen the circle of violence. It points to crises in Jordan, Yemen, Sudan, and Gaza, and to exclusionary rhetoric spreading into the West. It concludes that confronting extremism requires laws applied equally to all, education that fosters critical thinking, media that verifies before inciting, protection of people’s rights, and a willingness to acknowledge mistakes rather than sanctifying politics or explaining failure away as conspiracy.
