Despite the fact that religious extremism is a contentious issue at the moment, it is frequently reduced to a one-dimensional concept that is connected to religious violence. We contend that the term extreme as it is now used does not adequately describe the various interpretations, beliefs, and attitudes that define extreme religious identity. In order to solve this problem, we explore the meaning of the word extreme in religious contexts and respond to academics' requests for a more thorough framework that takes into account all of the various aspects of religion. Based on the diversity of Islamic groups in Indonesia, we develop a model of religious extremism in the theological, ritualistic, social, and political components of religion. Beyond a study that links violent Muslim extremism with extremism in general, we suggest that argues that Muslims (or, for that matter, any religious organization) can be radical in some aspects while being moderate in others, such as being extreme in ritual and moderate in politics. When addressing the global problem of religious extremism, understanding extremism in relation to these four aspects offers fresh perspectives and makes it easier to anticipate how religious extremism may manifest. More broadly, our theory contributes to the development of a radicalism understanding that goes beyond a focus on violence.
