To try and sum up the causes of extremism in one word will ultimately lead to a vast generalization. But the main reason behind the cause of extremism is the educational curricula, because this lays the foundations that shape one’s thoughts. So when these curricula teach extremism, extremists will be born.
Secondly, education is the wide arena where one can negatively or positively reach and influence millions of Muslim students across the world. Morocco has recently joined other countries who’ve promised to correct their school curricula. King Mohammad VI personally chaired the council of ministers to discuss the educational curriculum and instructed the minister of national education and the minister of endowment and Islamic affairs to review religious teachings and textbooks in Moroccan schools.
So will Morocco succeed in what other governments who’ve attempted to resolve defects in the educational system failed?
What is new here is that Morocco has said it has decided to rewrite its curricula, so that the nation will have Muslim students who believe in Islamic values, which call for “centrism, moderation, tolerance and coexistence with different cultures and civilizations.”
Students will thus, on the basis of religious conviction, graduate from schools believing in tolerance and respecting others from different sects, religions and cultures.
Islam is a major religion, which people can take whatever they want from. This is what happened during the past three decades when Islam was hijacked by those who said the religion was in danger and must go into a state of war. Ideological groups with political ambitions have cultivated and promoted this idea.
Many people supported these groups, and this is how we have reached the current situation of chaos, where there are wars with Shiites, Sunnis, Alawites, Christians, Jews, Buddhists and Hindus.
This is why Islam and Muslims became the enemies of most of the world’s people. Can’t Islam be like other religions where its believers live with others and coexist with other religions?
Morocco’s Royal Palace said the strategy to reform education would last for years — until 2030. If the Moroccans can write a curriculum, which conveys Islam’s great humanitarian teachings and noble morals, then this curriculum is worthy of being a guide to all other Islamic countries who suffer from the problem of how and what to teach about Islam to their Muslim students.

FROM MY PERSPECTIVE;
Those who accuse Extremist Muslim like ISIS, Taliban,Al Qaida, Jihadith are not Islam, nothing to do with Islam,Islam is religion of Peace, are not honest, mislead people. Actually they are Muslim or Islam’s faith.
Extremist Muslim actually follow the ancient Islamic laws such as;
1 . They pray 5 times a day, they fasting, and believe in Allah.
2. They implement the Syariah laws such as.
Cut off the feet,hands, beheading, crucifixion, flogging , hanging, etc.
The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter.― (QS 5; 33).
Hand amputation.
As to the thief, male or female, cut off his or her hands: a retribution for their deed and exemplary punishment from Allah and Allah is Exalted in Power, full of Wisdom. QS 5; (38).
Flogging 100 times in public.
The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication― flog each of them with a hundred stripes: let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment. QS 24;(2).
Woman traded as a slave girl. Women who lost the war allowed raped. QS. 23:6. QS. 70:29, Sura 33:50. QS. 4:24 QS24; (33), QS 24: (58),
Christians has to pay the jizya.
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger nor, acknowledge the Religion of Truth from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission and feel themselves subdued. QS 9;(29)
FROM THE BOOK OF HADITH
Honor Killing
There are end times will appear a group of young people and bad attitude. They said word by using the word of GOD.
Though they have been out of Islam as an arrow out of the bow. Wherever you meet them, then kill them. Surely the person who killed them will get a reward in the day of Judgement “Bukhari.
WEAR BURQA
O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e.screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known so as not to be annoyed. And Allâh is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. QS 33;59
Extremist Muslim is the same as the faith of Muslim Ahmadiyah. Right? Am I wrong?
So, those who accuse Extremist Muslim, terrorist Isis, Taliban, Jihadith and Al Qaida are not Islam, they are wrong and mislead people around the world.
If Muslim Scholars really want to show the beauty of Islam, Muslim scholars have to reform the ancient laws, as Christianity did 700 year ago.
