I dont know if anyone saw this... but the topic of extremism was on the BBC and many other newspapers. I have spoken to some friends about my blog and the intention that I have to continue writing about contemporary and news headlined issues. The development of my writing skills will hopefully follow. The stories from the BBC that highlighted different aspects of 'Extremism', were stories including; 'Is the fight against terror about violence or extremism?', this statement I agree with entirely.  please refer to this article from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4by0WxRzzOM. 


What is extremism and how has it shaped society, and in fact when I say society, I mean daily modern, but of course western. The relationship and difference in culture from the western to the Middle East is most confusing to me and different in terms of government regulations, societal codes and conducts, opportunities for all, children and human rights and the ability to write and speak your mind. This I can understand, as being 'Extreme thinking' for those who do not think there, on the other hand however, for those that have grown up in such a society, I can understand their sense of tradition, religious ruling over their life, sense of saving and keeping of their homes and surroundings and their own heritage because they have had so much taken than their ability to want to hold onto what they can and cannot have is much higher.


Can society ever understand the Extremism and what it means, because it could in fact be a media ploy??? 


It changes so quickly in nature and context that to an extent there are devout catholics that can be seen as Extreme but until the media, governments and the war on terror begins the 'stand and look at the middle east' stance that today much of the media and western world have, the term 'extremism' will always be connected to the Middle East and the religious followers of Islam. This ignorance, blaming game and secregation is coming from a so called 'democratic' government, is it not? By law are not allowed to discriminate nor segregate... is this right? Why can they segregate people for being Islamic, is it  'Extreme', by what the English Government is doing? Why is it that Universities can tackle Islamic Extremism? How and to what extent do they know what they're really talking about? How and why do they think they have any possibility of keeping the so called 'Extremists' from firing their ammunition on institutions because they have been targeted? I believe their attempt will not deliver a win, but we will have to wait and see. 


Please refer to more  http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/womanshour/03/2006_27_fri.shtml- as you can listen to July 7 2006 radio recording from BBC website. That explores the role Muslim women can play in tackling extremism within their community. Martha Kearney is joined by Baroness Uddin, of the Government's task force and Zareen Ahmed, Chief Executive of the British Muslim forum. Muslim Leaders in Britain accounded a national task force to fight extremism after 13% of British Muslims refards the July 7th bombers as Martyrs. On the same day Tony Blair called for the Britain's Muslim Community to do more to combat not just the extremists' methods but their false sense of grievance about the west. He insisted government alone could not root out extremism/


 This I agree with entirely because I believe it is the nature in which each person who acts unlawfully, are treated and with education, allowing them to learn and create harmony and peace for all, extremism can be rectified but it is only the future generations that will be benefit from projects that begin today!
