what do you class as extremism??
Extremism is a term used to describe the actions or ideologies of individuals or groups outside the perceived political center of a society; or otherwise claimed to violate common standards of ethics and reciprocity. It is usually considered by those to whom it is applied to be a pejorative term. It is typically used in reference to political and social ideologies seen as irrational, counterproductive, unjustifiable, or otherwise unacceptable to a civil society. The term connotes the illegitimacy of certain ideas or methods.
The terms "extremism" or "extremist" are almost always exonymicâ€â€Âi.e. applied by others rather than by a group labeling itself. Rather than labeling themselves "extremist", those labeled as such tend to see the need for militant ideas or actions in a particular situation. For example, there is no political party that calls itself "right-wing extremist" or "left-wing extremist", and there is no sect of any religion that calls itself "Extremism."

On the other hand there are entertainment companies who like to be called 'Extreme'
As far as extremism is concerned, the basic recognition mark of extremism is not being open for other ideas. Extremists feel that their ideas are the only true ones and strive to eradicate any opposing ideas.
Just to stir the fire. In most cases people confuse extreme-right with extreme-center ideas.
