    So someone willing to kill in the name of an ideology is an extremist

    So you’re highlighting the fact that extremists will kill people in the name of their ideology, and you define extremists as people who will to kill for their ideology. Sounds pretty tautological no?

      You’re confusing tautology with just writing the same definition in two different orders.
      A square has four sides of equal length. Four sides of equal length length make a square. That’s not a tautology.

        Okay, so you’re highlighting the fact that a square has four sides of equal length. Seems rather pointless, no?
