The two terms are seemingly interchangeable, as synonyms they should be. From a popular culture standpoint think of "normal" as a guy standing on the edge of a cliff. \n\nA radical would be someone with one foot over the cliff, whereas the extremist is someone that simply jumps off of it, the ideas are so far outside the norm. \n\nRadical is defined as:\n\nDeparting markedly from the usual or customary; extreme: radical opinions on education. \n\nFavoring or effecting fundamental or revolutionary changes in current practices, conditions, or institutions\n\nExtremist is defined as:\n\nadj : (used of opinions and actions) far beyond the norm; "extremist political views"; "radical opinions on education"; "an ultra conservative" [syn: radical, ultra] n : a person who holds extreme views

haha.  it could either be making fun of karmic and dogmatic beliefs, or in a literal sense it could mean that the person's karmic beliefs are more important than dogmatic beliefs.\n\nThe person may have switched from a very strict practice to something like Buddhism.

someone who is psychotic is obviously way out of touch with reality. They may be extremely hostile, paranoid, speaking in sentneces that make no sense, agitated, and could possibly become violent, but not always.

I think the definition of insane is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.  You're probably not as different as you think you are, we're all pretty much the same down deep.  We just express things differently.

Any person who refuses to have an open mind and live and let live attitude.  I cant for the life of me understand why anyone would want to be consumed with everyone elses business.  And I dont think this can be generalized into one religious category.  It is a people problem, not religion problem.

I agree with those who say radical thinkers are close minded.  They can't listen to anything but their own voice.  Moderate thinkers are more interesting as their viewpoints vary.  And remember, "Nothing lasts forever even cold November rain."

To me it means a person who is strong in their convictions but willing to help anyone at any time.  They can smile in the worst of events and see the bright side.  They speak the truth even if it hurts at times.\n\nI believe that they are the person that you walk past and never notice till you stumble and fall and the only one to stop and help you is the "person of virtue".\n\nI think that they are the type of people every one wants to be but never can be because they try to hard to perfect.  I don't think that people of virtue try to be perfect or try to be that way.  They just are.  I think they have seen the horrible side of life and came out a stronger person.\n\nMy mother in law is a person of virtue and one of the people that I love and respect most in this world.

Extremists are people who MAY kill others for not agreeing with them.    \n\nPeople who do not agree are usually intelligent.    The afraid mass attacks those who question, in time of confusion.

Atheist or Nihilist.\n\nAn Atheist, by strict definition, is someone who doesn't believe in God. That doesn't mean that Atheists can't believe in other things.\n\nA Nihilist on the other hand doesn't believe in anything whatsoever.

The term "extremism" is very misleading. Being extreme is not a 'good' or 'bad' thing. Folks that are quiet and / or ONLY tell the truth in American society would be called 'extreme'. -What are you, -a nun??, a priest??\n\nBut anyway, these folks are Jihad-ists, and it's either partially or fully based on their Muslim holy book doctrines. The really problem is not the Jihadists, but what are the so called 'moderates' doing about it??? - NOTHING !! The moderates claim islam is a religion of 'peace', but they do not consistently public denounce the actions of the Jihadist and they give lip-service to the western countries.\n\nThe so-called moderates are the solution, when they get a back-bone and stand up against their fellow terrorists.

I do agree that fundamentalists and extremists exist in ALL groups---christians, atheists, muslims, etc. ALL groups. No groups are exempt from such dogmatic attitudes.  I don't trust the extremeists and fundamentalists of the liberals, nor do I trust the extemists of the other end of the spectrum.
