Well , Islamic extremism DOES exist in our societies. Thanks to ignorance and backwardness. I know that West abuse this word but you do realize that I am not a "Westerner" ,right?

Islam should be like we have in Turkey ...Malaysia ...Indonesia etc (No one is perfect , I know) ...But Islam of Saudi Arabia is NOT what one must follow. Its a mixture of Saudi interpretation of Islam + their tribal Arab traditions....

The west is at loggerheads with Islam and Muslims.
In such an environment, or in any environment, one must be wary of using a terminology that is coined by your detractors.
Islamic extremism is one such terminology.
Very convenient for the west and devastating for us.
Your detractors will never leave you in peace till you completely follow their way.
This much is from the Noble Qur'an itself.
Do Follow Turkey, Malaysia and Indonesia but never expose yourself, your weakness, to those who are not your friends. And this is true for questionable friends too. Like the Europe and the US.
We are passing through a very delicate phase and a single wrong step can have serious implications.
I'll give a historical example. The British came to India as traders and became the rulers. Then as the history had it even after more than six decades we can not completely wash away the effects of that.
A Muslim is one who has accepted Allah (SWT)'s command as enunciated by beloved Prophet (PBUH). Beloved Prophet (PBUH) told us that you are one of those whose ways you adopt.
Adopting some one's terminology is adopting their ways.
You see how tricky the things can be?
