why are people drawn to extremes?

'Extreme' is just a phrase people use for any deviation from their personal ideal of balance.

For a devout Muslim he is not extremely fundamentalistic for example, he's very reasonable in his practice, while you are extremely degenerate by his standards.

but muslims arent people

>>9052310

>>9052301
Failures or mediocrity in other aspects in life

This is wrong. Fundamentalist Muslims know exactly how removed they are from society. Some even go "we were given this duty by god, alas" like Jews.

They know they are removed from society, but obviously they don't consider their own ideas extreme. If you truly believe like they believe, their ideas are very common sensical. If you were to accept their premises and then choose NOT to obey God in that way, that would be extreme. Satan-tier extreme.
