- Abstract
This paper deals with religious extremism as a phenomenon that concerns the whole world and not just a community or a certain space. In this paper it is concluded that extremism as a notion has no Islamic genesis and is not spread only among Muslim community, but, under the pressure of the media, whenever extremism is mentioned, it is given an Islamic religious color to this phenomenon. In this paper is taken into consideration of the issue of extremism from the Islamic point of view, namely in the light of the basic sources of Islamic religion, and based on the arguments presented, it is concluded that Islam rejects extremism, and in its teachings it promotes tolerance. As relevant arguments in support of this finding, the following is emphasized in this paper: description of the Muslim community in The Qur'an as an Moderate community; prohibition of excess in religion at all levels; a tolerant attitude towards members of other religions, which is clearly seen by the fact that Islam allows its members to marry Christian and Hebrew women and to eat the animal flesh slaughtered by a Jew or a Christian; allowing cooperation for useful things for society and humanity with all people, even if they are not Muslims; dialogue with members of other religions in the best form; no to exaggerate the fight against the enemy, whether by killings or by any other form of destruction of material goods, even in the state of war.
