This is disturbing. The term 'extremist' has changed from its original meaning denoting someone who advocates or engages in violent action in pursuit of a political cause.

Under the newer usage, even the Mennonites and the Amish are potentially subject to the same blanket condemnation as neo-Nazis or ISIS.
