It’s the quiet ones the outsiders with unwavering determination who truly change the world. While the loudest voices command attention, titles, and applause, often leaving damage in their wake with misguided takes and unchecked influence, it’s those who embody quiet strength that step in to heal and rebuild. They act with purpose, not noise; they persist where others falter. If the clamor makes you feel overlooked or isolated, embrace your silent resolve: your steady actions will mend what volume alone breaks. True power lies in quiet determination keep going.

We can do better, and the solution is straightforward in principle, if demanding in practice: Insist on evidence-based definitions. Extremism must involve credible advocacy of, or preparation for, violence not merely offence, imbalance, or unpopular politics. Demand transparency and proportionality. Referral processes like Prevent should publish clear criteria, appeal mechanisms, and annual audits showing outcomes, so overreach can be challenged and corrected. Protect open debate while punishing incitement. Laws should target direct calls to violence, not ideas that make people uncomfortable. Education must teach students to engage with disagreement rather than retreat from it. Public discussion, media, and policy should routinely separate the ideology from the broader group condemning Islamist terrorism without implicating all Muslims, far-right and far-left violence without tarring all conservatives and democrats, and so on. Build resilience, not hypersensitivity. Schools and societies should foster intellectual robustness: teaching critical thinking, historical context, and emotional regulation instead of treating discomfort as harm. Only by reclaiming precision in our language and courage in our discourse can we hope to see real threats clearly and confront them effectively while preserving the open, pluralistic societies worth defending.

The worldwide erosion of “extremism” It started with something almost comically mundane. In early 2025, a politics teacher at Henley College in England showed his teenage students clips of Donald Trump’s inauguration and a pro-Trump rap video. One student reported feeling emotionally distressed even having nightmares and the machinery of safeguarding swung into action. The teacher was accused of “radicalisation,” flagged for possible “hate crimes,” and referred to the UK’s Prevent counter-terrorism programme. He eventually resigned with a small settlement, calling the experience dystopian. Seen clearly, this episode lays bare the deep problems plaguing Prevent, the strategy introduced after the 2005 London bombings to stop people being drawn into terrorism. Over the years it has been criticised for stigmatising entire communities, generating thousands of referrals for non-violent opinions, suppressing classroom discussion, and crucially failing to prevent several major attacks despite its vast reach. When emotional discomfort in a lesson is treated as equivalent to grooming for violence, the term “extremism” loses all force. Hurt feelings are not terrorism; conflating them is not caution it is a dangerous dilution that leaves society less able to recognise and confront genuine threats. This is not a peculiarly British failing. Across the world from European hate-speech laws to American campus speech codes and beyond labels like “extremist,” “radical,” or “hate” are increasingly deployed against views people simply dislike. Censorship, whether formal or social, follows close behind. The result is a global fog in which real dangers become harder to see. True extremism is unmistakable: it embraces violence to achieve ideological ends and rejects peaceful democratic resolution. It appears across the spectrum. Far-right networks promote racial supremacy and have inspired mass killings. Far-left fringes have carried out arson and sabotage in the name of environmental or social “justice.” The 2023 Nashville school shooting, where a transgender-identifying attacker targeted a Christian institution for ideological reasons, illustrates how niche radical ideologies can also turn deadly. Incel extremism has driven vehicle and stabbing attacks rooted in misogynistic grievance. Separatist and ethno-nationalist groups continue cycles of atrocity in various regions. Meanwhile, longstanding hatreds produce very real victims today: Anti-Semitism has surged globally since October 2023. Tens of thousands of incidents vandalism, mass shootings, attacks on synagogues, assaults, bomb threats have been recorded across Europe, North America, and Australia, with university campuses and city streets becoming frequent flashpoints. Anti-Christian attacks are escalating even in the West. Churches have been repeatedly arsoned or vandalised in France (dozens of cases in 2023–2024), the UK (hundreds of incidents in recent years), Germany, and Italy. Further afield, systematic church burnings and massacres continue in Nigeria, Pakistan, and parts of India. Islamist extremism remains lethally active, with ISIS and affiliates claiming hundreds of lives annually most recently the Bondi beach, Nigeria, Moscow concert-hall massacre and attacks across Africa and Asia. Yet the response is often distorted by overbroad labelling. Painting entire communities Muslims, Jews, Christians, conservatives, Democrats, progressives, or any other group with the sins of their most extreme fringes breeds alienation and resentment. It drives moderate voices away from cooperation and allows actual violent actors to hide in the noise. The pattern repeats: when every strong opinion risks being called “extremist,” the word ceases to warn us of anything. Societies grow polarised, institutions lose credibility, and genuine threats whether a church arsonist, a synagogue shooter, or a jihadist cell slip through because resources and attention are scattered on phantoms.

Something Large and Round Appeared Beside the Sun Captured while driving in Dallas, Texas. Off to the right of the setting Sun, a large, round object appeared low on the horizon — separate, solid, and completely out of place. This wasn’t a sundog. It wasn’t a reflection. And it wasn’t behaving like a normal atmospheric effect. At a glance, it looked almost like a moon… even a rogue planet came to mind. Whatever it was, it didn’t belong there. #MrMBB333 #DallasTexas https://x.com/mrmbb333/status/2004601024997396976

Israel officially recognizes the Republic of Somaliland as an independent state. Israel will now work hand-in-hand with Somaliland to build a future of security, innovation, and hope. Israeli Prime Minister’s Office: "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced today the official recognition of the Republic of Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state. The Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the President of the Republic of Somaliland signed a joint and reciprocal declaration. This declaration is in the spirit of the Abraham Accords, initiated by President Trump. The Prime Minister congratulated the President of Somaliland, Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdilahi, and praised his leadership and commitment to promoting security, stability, and peace. The Prime Minister invited the President to make an official visit to Israel. The President thanked Prime Minister Netanyahu for his historic declaration and expressed deep appreciation for the Prime Minister’s great efforts in combating terrorism and achieving regional peace. The Prime Minister thanked Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, Mossad Director David Barnea, and the Mossad for their contribution to advancing recognition between the two nations, and wished the people of Somaliland success, prosperity, and freedom. The State of Israel is set to immediately expand its relations with the Republic of Somaliland through extensive cooperation in the fields of agriculture, health, technology, and economy." *** Israel is the only UN member that recognized Somaliland’s sovereignty. This is happening less than 24 hours prior to Netanyahu’s flight to the US to meet with President Trump. It is worth noting that Somaliland was supposed to, and perhaps still is, willing to take in gazans.
