Isn't an extremist someone who knows every detail about something and be very strict about it? How can someone who disobeys clear orders of Islam be an extremist not a terrorist?!!
Orders like:
"And do not kill yourselves. Surely, Allah is Most Merciful to you"
“…take not life, which God hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus doth He command you, that ye may learn wisdom.”
“As regards the one who kills a Believer willfully (not by error), his recompense is Hell, wherein he shall live forever. He has incurred Allaah’s wrath and His curse is on him, and Allaah has prepared a woeful torment for him.”
"do not transgress for Allah doesn't like those who transgress"
help each other do good and fear Allah and don't help each other to sin and transgress"
and the speech by the messenger Mohammad peace be upon him:"The Muslim is the one others are not harmed by his tongue nor hand"

I meantioned this Ayah first then the believers Ayah. every soul is sacred. believers and non believers. Muslims are not even allowed to even cut plants at wars nor to kill animals for sports.

I would say an extremist is a radical, an individual with extreme views who probably advocates some sort of extreme change and tends to sway far from the orthodox view. This is true of an extremist Christian just as it's true for an extremist Muslim, and the definition neither includes nor precludes terrorism.
A terrorist is an individual who commits an act of terror, generally a destructive act meant to intimidate and strike fear into others.
One can be an extremist and not a terrorist, but because of the nature of terrorism, terrorists are extremists. Acts of terror generally are, by definition, extreme.
A good analogy here is the square and the rectangle. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. In the same way, all terrorists are extremists, but not all extremists are terrorists.

The problem with islam is that it forbids taking life of human beings and also orders to kill non-believers simultaneously, which is a contradiction of extreme nature.

Yes. True muslims believe in everything you posted. btw, the war on terror is a lie made up by the Bush family. They are the real terrorists, not muslims. Peace.

So, what is the difference between mujahideen and mufsidoon? When does jihad become hirabah? You can email me. I would like to know your opinion. Muslims do not harm others by his tongue nor hand? Doesn't a mujahid kill non-Muslims? I think that the issue is "just cause" or "righteous intent" for Muslims, whereas for non-Muslims it is simply killing for any reason except by the military for defense.
Someone who obeys clear orders of Islam in jihad fee sybil Allah is considered to be a hero by Muslims. However, the victims see him as a terorist. Why? Well, because the victims are non-Muslims and do not want to be mutillated, maimed and murdered.
Unlike the Bible, the Qur'an gives very specific rules of engagement for jihad.
Among Muslims there are those who:
a) jihad in the path of Allah with their wealth and their lives (including those who sit at home but give asylum to mujahidin 4:74) = true Muslim
b) those who sit at home (and do not give asylum to mujahidin or jihad in the path of Allah)
c) the handicapped (does not count as a category)
d) apostates (does not count as a category because they are not even considered to be Muslims and may even be killed like Sunni kill Shia) According to the Qur'an who is a true believer?
3:140 If you have sustained a wound, _ (a blow in the battlefield) _ others too have suffered a similar kind of wound, earlier. These are the vicissitudes of life that We circulate among mankind by turns. Thus, Allah tests the true believers among you, so He may pick the martyrs among you. Allah does not like the wrongdoers.
4:95 The two are not equal: those who sit at home (and do not join the fighting) _ unless they have a reason; they are handicapped _ and those who [jihad] strive hard in the path of Allah with their wealth and lives. Over those who sit at home, Allah has excelled and elevated to a higher honor those who strive hard with their wealth and lives.
Compared to those who sit at home, Allah will award a far greater reward to those who wage a struggle.
8:74 Those who believed, left their homes and waged a struggle for the cause of Allah as well as those who helped and protected them are really the true believers. There is forgiveness for them and a generous rewards.
49:15 The (true) believers are actually those who believe in Allah and His messenger and then do not waver (and do not entertain doubts). With their wealth and their lives, they strive for the sake of Allah. Such are truly the sincere ones
9:86 As soon as a chapter (of the Qur’an) is revealed (instructing them), “Believe in Allah and wage a struggle along with His messenger” the able bodied (and well to do) among them ask to be exempted. They say, “Leave us (behind). Let us be among those who sit at home
Killing (qitl) and jihad in the cause of Allah is the hallmark of true Muslim believers. It is not a matter of moderate or fanatic. It is the distinction of a true believer or a rebel.
4:76 Those who believe, do fight for the sake of Allah, while those who reject faith (Islam) fight for the cause of ‘taghut’ _ (all rebellious forces aligned against Allah). So, fight against the minions of Shaitan. Feeble indeed is the wily guile of Shaitan!
2:216 Warfare (for the sake of Allah) has been ordained for you, though it is not something you like. It is possible that the thing you detest might just (turn out to) be good for you. It is possible that the thing you like (the most) might in reality be bad for you. Allah knows (all) while you know nothing (at all)!
4:74 Those who have traded away the life of this world for (the benefits of) the life-to-come, ought to fight for the sake of Allah. To anyone who fights for the sake of Allah, We will award the most generous reward whether he is killed (in the process) or comes out victorious.
17:33 Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority (to demand retaliation or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life, for he is helped (by the Law
Does this include atomic weapons?
8:60 Acquire and prepare all the (military) strength you can muster, including the finest trained horses (and other military wares). With that, you would daunt and deter the enemies of Allah _ your enemies, and others besides them. You do not know them, but Allah (surely) knows them. Anything you spend in the path of Allah will be returned to you in full. You will not be wronged (at all).
18:29 Say, “This is the truth! It is from your Lord! So, (now) whoever wants may believe it. If anyone wishes to disbelieve, let him.” For the evildoers We have prepared a fire. Like a canopy of conflagration, it will surround them completely. They shall plead for help and shall be treated with water _ more like boiling oil _ which will scald their mouths. A miserable drink served in a wretched place!
I do agree, though, that non-Muslims can be more sharp-tongued than Muslims.
