Extremist Groups

  • The Church of Euthanasia is borderline-extremist, as they do not advocate harm to others but merely advocate certain measures which (probably) strike most people as rather extreme
  • Westboro Baptist Church seems to hate just about everybody, starting with (but not limited to) gay people, and are an almost textbook case of extremism
