According to a contributor at Fox News, Steven Crowder, religious extremism is not the only kind of extremism in the world. He states that a more alarming form of extremism is called secular extremism. Secular extremism demonstrates the same terrorist ideologies but is seen in a more positive light, as its battle is ‘moral’ against that of the ‘evil’ theistic terrorists in the world. He uses the example of James Lee, who held innocent people hostage in the Discovery Center building to further his cause of saving the environment, to demonstrate this concept (Crowder, 2010). This helps us differentiate between the kinds of extremisms that exist in the society in relation to religion.
