That's what extremists do… The take our foundational higher ideals and turn them in to accusations, twisted with mal-information propaganda.

As I wrote back in 2016: "Extremism uses the very foundational devices humanity uses to create community and civilization.

Yes, extremism is often masked in the guise of religion. It is ALWAYS masked in the guise of some higher ideal. There’s a reason for that. Extremism works against community, seeking to ultimately destroy community. Those higher ideals, like religion are foundational devices for creating community." ~ D. Denise Dianaty
