-	'''Extremism''' is a term used to describe the actions or [[Ideology|ideologies]] of individuals or groups outside [[mainstream|political center]] of a society; or otherwise claimed to violate common standards of ''[[ethics]] and [[reciprocity]]''. It is usually considered by those to whom it is applied to be a [[pejorative]] term. It is typically used in reference to [[politics|political]] and social [[ideology|ideologies]] seen as ''[[irrational]], counterproductive, unjustifiable,'' or otherwise ''unacceptable'' to a [[civil]] society. The term connotes the ''[[legitimacy|illegitimacy]]'' of certain ideas or methods.	+

-	The terms "extremism" or "extremist" are almost always exonymic—i.e. applied by others rather than by a group labeling itself. Rather than labeling themselves "extremist", those labeled as such tend to see the need for militant ideas or actions in a particular situation. For example, there is no political party that calls itself "right-wing extremist" or "left-wing extremist", and there is no sect of any religion that calls itself "Extremism."	+
