extremist group
An extremist group is an organization that holds radical views and advocates or engages in extreme actions to promote their beliefs, often disregarding legal and ethical standards. These groups may operate in political, religious, or ideological contexts, seeking to achieve their goals through violence, coercion, or intimidation. Their beliefs typically deviate significantly from mainstream society, leading them to reject compromise and dialogue. Extremist groups can pose threats to social stability and security, as they often aim to impose their beliefs on others, sometimes resulting in conflict and violence.
