For anyone who knows the basics of Islam and practices them, avoidance of extremism, both on the right and left, is quite easy. As the MI5 already describes, so called muslim extremists are not religious zealots but rather, non-practicing (drinking, prostitution etc) novices.

But this video is a great reminder.

Make good use of your time!
