why are there extremists in Islam?
<|assistant|>
There are extremists in all religions, and Islam is no exception. Just like any religion, Islam can be interpreted in different ways. Extremists take this interpretation and apply it in a more rigid, extreme way, leading to violent acts or the subjugation of minorities. Islam itself does not promote extremism, but rather, extremists use the core tenets of Islam to justify their activities.
