Extremism is a concept that refers to adopting extremist views or behaviors that may lead to violence, discrimination, or intellectual isolation. It is the result of a complex interaction between personal convictions and the social environment. We must deal with it with caution and awareness to understand its roots and ways to confront it effectively. When a person deviates from the path of the value system that society was raised on and accepted and sought to spread and protect by all means and methods, as it contradicts the standards of building sound, healthy, and strong societies, this ultimately leads to conflict and patterns of violence and extremism. Extremism revolves around the tendency of individuals or groups to deviate from moderation, tolerance and balance in their thoughts, positions and behaviors. The principles adopted by the extremist stem from his deep belief in false and misleading beliefs and cognitive convictions and misleading interpretations. Therefore, he defends them excessively, which prompts him to exploit all available means with those who try to resist him by word or deed. Then, he adopts extremist and terrorist ideas psychologically, physically or intellectually to fight everything that stands as a stumbling block in the way of achieving the principles on which this extremist thought is based. We, in the International Organization for the Unification of Arab Peoples, seek by all means and methods to spread tolerance and choose moderation in dealing with all sects with all their doctrinal diversity by spreading healthy ideas and rejecting division and extremism among the peoples of the world, especially in the Arab world. We strive with all available capabilities and efforts to be culturally aware and to be aware of all different cultures and civilizations through networking with all international and educational institutions and organizations in order to correct negative ideas and destructive extremism. This is what the Arab world suffers from, and the most important Treatments are a correction of curricula that suffer from shortcomings and also from character assassination without development.
