What you have stated above is utter rubbish (calling such Muslims extremists). This whole idea of extremists/fundamentalists/strict Muslims is a oxymoron. By definition, a Muslim is one who submits to the Will of Allah, meaning the Commands and rulings of Allah. To say one can be a Muslim but let not be so extremists by submitting oneself to every Command of Allah, is an oxymoron and contradiction. What do you want us to do, give up certain rulings of religion so that you are pleased and say "oh look we Muslims are not strict or extreme" or "masa'Allah look fullan is not so strict". I hardly have any words to describe this blunder and rubbish idea and specially when it comes from Muslims.
Well said. :)
