When something is surplus or superabundant than its usual limit it converts to the opposite. From this definition, the term extremism pops up to the surface. It's something much more than the usual. It's usually a situation of great danger or disaster, and here, I am referring to beliefs. Extremism in beliefs is the most dangerous one. It is far than the usual reason and further than is thought to be reasonable. Opinions can be expressed without going to extremes.
I have been living here in Saudi Arabia with many different people. They come from different parts of the world to work here in this biggest exporting country for oil. They have different nationalities, religions, beliefs, cultures. We eat together and work together. We argue, debate, and discuss our various perspectives concerning any subject in a modern manner. Our voices sometimes raised during those discussions but the matter did not need to use our hands or use any kind of violence.
Ten or twenty years ago, this phenomenon was not like now. The holding of views that are so far from being moderate as possible leads to undesired feelings. Extremism in beliefs as I mentioned before, is the most dangerous one. To make a point, some of them use their hands, their guns or even heavy weapons. Most of our problems nowadays come from extremism.
If we talk about political extremism, our talk will expand. We have endured extremities of suffering from them. Two-thirds of the causes of conflicts or wars are because of extremism. I cannot say it's a phenomenon. It's a real disease. We need efforts to get rid of it. Efforts of individuals, organizations, companies, governments, countries and even the help of the united nations. Cooperation, understanding, giving the area for the other to express his or her idea. Or maybe the matter is more than that! People who are specialists and experts in this field can help and give their guidance or help and till then, the phenomenon of extremism will still be there.

Asabte sana Dorf Klaus. I have a Nigerian friend, he is from Abuja. He works here with us in our general hospital. He is a doctor. We have been friends for a long time. He is Christian. I'm Muslim, we have never felt any discrimination. We argue, quarrel but there was no intolerance or fanaticism. The next day, we usually forget these trifle things and continue our life normally.
@Dorf.klaus
You have asked lots of Questions bro!
About Iran, we have no rights in Syria & we're seeking no rights there! We just Help them!
And about Iranian Revolution. it's a Revolution caused by just Iranian people and more then 98% of the Iranians voted for establishing of the Islamic Republic Regime in Iran in 1979.
We love our country and believe in our Leader!
It's better than Saudi Royal Family who put their family name on a nation and they have done no kinds of elections in their country since the foundation of it (200 years ago). right, yeah?
And by the way, For Iranians, Defending Syria & Iraq is not just like defending a country!
There are our important religious places there.
Like Imam Ali ibn AbiTalib's shrine (pbuh) and his son: Imam Hussein ibn Ali's shrine (pbuh) in Iraq.
and Hazrat Zeinab's shrine (pbun) (Imam Ali's Daughter) in Syria.
And we will do the same, if someone attack our important religious places in Hejaz (Arabia), like Mecca & Medina.

@Dorf.klaus:
I speak while my eyes are open. not only my eyes but also my Heart!
We have nothing to do in Iraq & Syria But Defending the oppressed!
Syria was a beautiful country & we were Friends & Allies.
in first days of Unrest in Syria, it was just like normal Protests for political reforms.
I agree that the Syrian government was wrong in dealing with protesters.
But suddenly the scene changed & militants came to streets!
And the most important part of this event is that most of this Militants were not Syrians at all.
they were Foreign backed militants came to Syria to topple the legitimate government (elected by people).
I think, I've given you this Links before:
Syria Government didn't expect this at all, so she was Shocked and could do nothing in first days! Because even some of its Military Forces were joined to the Militants.
then The Syrian Government asked Iran for Help and We did.
Because they had helped us before in the 8 years of Iraq-Iran Imposed War.
some years later when Militants specially ISIS Terrorists (Daesh) in Syria were stuck there and couldn't achieve their goals, they attacked Iraq!
In that Time Iraq was a very poor country. it had been demolished by USA and UK. it didn't have a powerful Government or even a good Military.
in few days most of Iraq was captured by ISIS and most of the Iraqi Military were surrendered to ISIS.
They were near the Capital Baghdad and they were going to capture it.
Then Iran couldn't Stand such a thing! Because if they could capture Iraq, their Next Goal was Iran.
in that Time, General Qasem Soleimani (the head of IRGC Quds forces) went to Iraq and pushed ISIS back!
We cannot stand a Terrorist State to be established in our neighborhood.
No one will Stand such a thing!
We will do this until the full liberation of Syria & Iraq of the hands of Terrorists!
God Willing!
Though we never accept the other thoughts, all we need to do is appreciating them.
Life is never better than that, Sir. ^^
asante sana bwana dara,
@Mohammed what happened during what called islamic revolution in iran? And what does iran do now in Iraq and Surya, you have to open your eyes, we have to stand with truth wherever it was, we are humans we aren't tribes and countries, we are living under same sky, and sometimes we have to sacrifice even if we have rights (iran doesn't have any rights in Iraq and Surya). Less talking sooner mended.
