Go on and expand the list of countries with extremism (Afghanistan, Pakistan,....what else?). It would be really interesting to see the population demographics by religion of each of those countries. What is imperative is to take a firm stand against Islam as a governing system. It will look like extremism because Islam is misunderstood by almost everybody, muslims and nonmuslims alike, as a religion. When a group seeks to establish a different governing system in a country to the one existing, it is by definition, a terrorist organization. Good Muslims may think Islam as a religion, but there is virtually no muslim majority country in the world which doesn't have at least some laws based on shariah, and which doesn't seek to rule by Shariah. That means apostasy (killing people for converting out of Islam), dhimmitude (legal discrimination against non-muslims) etc.
