Abstract

Extremism is one of themes that do not comply with all the established beliefs and healthy ideas because man is naturally built on moderation, and not extremism or militancy. The human communities are constituted throughout cooperation to keep the sustainability of life. The extremism happening today, particularly in Islamic countries, is only a result of internal reasons within Muslim societies, and the relationship of the dominant international policies on the capabilities of the peoples. In turn, this led to stick extremism to the Islamic approach and religion, because of the docility of some ignorant people of what is being plotted by those countries' policies and the shortening of some leaders of this matter in general. The present study has used the descriptive analytical approach to these issues. It concludes that there are negative reasons within Islamic countries, such as ignorance, economic and social aspects, Internet channels, some scientists' shortage in the preaching side, and the major role of the international politics in fomenting and supporting extremism in these countries. This role is represented in the unlawful interference, military support, and law legislation which are not suitable with the provisions of the Islamic religion that rejects all kinds of extremism through its legislation used from generation to generation.

Summary

Introduction

The Almighty God sent His Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, with a clear message of tolerance, compassion and the rejection of violence and extremism in all its forms and harassment. This is expressed by prophet's saying, "The religion which Allah loves most is the tolerant Hanifiyya" (natural unitary belief and correct behavior) (Al-Bukhari, 2001). At the present time these groups have fed on errors and shortening inside Muslim societies, and on international policies that support directly or indirectly These groups are invoked by the attacks carried out on the Islamic communities, as the American occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, and the occupation of Palestine by Zionists. The media statements issued by prominent characters in their communities like attacking the ideology and methodology of the Islamic religion, and the failure of scientists so as not to alarm and warn people of the danger of extremism, leads to the disintegration of communities and rivalry among them, and disability of the Daawa (invitation ) for this religion as they are nowhere near to it
