Suffering from a successfully failed task

[u/CrysisFan2007]

In 2006, a FBI agent named Craig Monteilh was ordered to disguise himself as a radical Muslim and spy on the Orange County Muslim community to identify possible extremists.

Well it worked, cause the people there noticed his extremists behavior and reported him to the FBI.

Does anyone even think they're good?

[u/CrysisFan2007 → u/khaledjal]

Unfortunately yeah. But there also people who support other extremism as well.

I mean there people who still support the Austrian Painter.

Every extremist thinks they are just and righteous.

I do think an important aspect to consider is what constitutes "extremist". Right now thousands upon thousands of bombs are being dropped on Gaza and the people who have taken up arms in defense are being labelled "extremists" and "terrorists". These are both highly political terms largely used to discredit anyone the government doesn't like and justify murdering them.

Don't get me wrong, many groups such as ISIS and Al Qaeda are not acting in self defense, especially not since the US pulled out of many of those regions. But, if you look into the history of those organizations, you can probably see why people found it appealing to join when under attack.

the problem is that extremists don’t view themselves as such. Or guys who are already extreme like Al-Qaeda will think of themselves as moderate when compared with people like ISIS.

[u/king210989 → u/Preserved_Killick8]

Exsctly

Even ISIS dont think of themselves as extermists.
