[Religious Extremism?]
"Some Muslims - those who are influenced by alien ideologies and practices - consider adherence to clear cut Islamic teachings concerning eating, drinking, beautification, or the call for the application of the law of Islam & the establishment of of an Islamic state as manifestation of "religious extremism." For such, a young Muslim man with a beard or a young Muslim girl wearing Islamic dress are both extremists! Even the commanding of the common good and the prohibition of evil are regardless as firms of extremism and interference with personal freedom"
(Prof. Dr. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, 'ISLAMIC AWAKENING BETWEEN REJECTION AND EXTREMISM", pg 17)
