Another question. The Chazon Ish who wrote the quote about extremism on your blog.. Is he if it is a he and not a group, Jewish or Muslim? Not a trick question I just can't tell by the name, or if this is a premise you put there because you believe it or can't believe it.

The reputation of the Chazon Ish for saintliness and knowledge was widespread and people from all walks of life would frequent his home, for scholarly discussions or to seek advice on religious, business, or personal problems, or simply to receive his blessing. When in 1933 he settled in the Land of Israel, his house in Bnei Brak became the address for thousands who sought his guidance.

Holding no official position, the Chazon Ish nevertheless became a recognized worldwide authority on all matters relating to Jewish law and life. He was not appointed as communal leader, yet he exerted an enormous influence on the life and institutions of religious Jewry. He did not publish many responsa, but became the supreme authority on halakha (Jewish law). David Ben-Gurion, the prime minister of Israel, visited him once to discuss political-religious issues.

He belonged to no official movement. He loved and respected all beings and as equally admired by all, without exception – by Hasidim, Mitnagdim, Ashkenazim, Sefardim, Haredim, Datiim, Hilonim, Zionists, and others. Today there is hardly a town in Israel without a street named in his honor. Although essentially an academic scholar, he applied himself to practical problems, devoting much effort to the strengthening of religious life and institutions. His rulings on the use of the milking machine on Shabbat and on cultivation by hydroponics during the sabbatical year are two illustrations of his practical approach. A model of modesty and kindness, the Chazon Ish wrote over 40 books in clear Hebrew, in polished and precise style, which are models of lucidity and brilliance.
