The discussion session aimed to show that the concept of extremism differs from one society to another, as it is a pathological phenomenon that indicates the presence of a defect in the human psyche or in the surrounding circumstances, as the normal psyche by nature rejects extremism, fanaticism and stagnation, which means that extremism represents a departure from general norms, concepts, traditions and accepted behaviors, so that these actions and behaviors are unjustified and outside the constitution and prevailing law. He also noted the characteristics of an extremist person, which are fanaticism of opinion and group, extremism and fanaticism in opinion and not accepting dialogue with others, using violence and roughness in dealing, blind imitation of the person or group to which he belongs. She explained the most important causes of extremism, which are the economic situation, injustice, oppression and marginalization, backwardness and ignorance, social problems, indicating that there are reasons that are classified into another group of biological, psychological, social and religious reasons. As prof. lect. Hussein Abdul Karim Hamas explained, the most important methods of treating extremism in society are repentance to God and adherence to His law, adopting the method of dialogue in dealing with extremists because they have wrong thinking, working to reduce the stimuli of extremism and violence to the lowest level, caring for young people and their issues, interests and ambitions by urging them to learn and have good morals, urging them to commit to calm and self-control, encouraging good integration into society and instilling love of the homeland in their souls.
