While spirituality in its various manifestations is an integral part of our human nature, religious extremism of any kind is never a good thing. Fanatical, politicised extremism within Muslim communities produced the Taliban, Al Qaeda and similar groups, and few dispute the necessity to tackle these forms of religious extremism. However, what is often missed by many at the present time, is that this is not something unique to Islam, many religions have extreme fanatical manifestations of themselves, which is why we must stand together in solidarity, opposing all forms of violent extremism.
