I don't think people by nature are extremists. You will never find a population of extremists. Extremists have existed throughout the centuries on all religions. And what happens is, extremists start to have more leverage when the situation is bad.

Interpretation

What this quote means

Extremism is not an inherent trait of people, but rather a reaction to dire circumstances.

Queen Rania of Jordan emphasizes that extremism is not a natural condition for individuals or societies. Instead, it often flourishes during difficult times when people seek to find meaning or control in chaotic situations. By this perspective, the presence of extremists is more a reflection of societal challenges than of human nature itself.
