The Educational Guidance and Counseling Unit at the College of Political Science at the University of Baghdad held a symposium entitled “The Role of the University Student in Confronting Intellectual Extremism”.
Dr.Ayat Naser Jaber and Assistant Lecturer Maha Ali Hamid, explained during their management of the symposium that extremism is one of the most controversial and interesting issues due to its negative effects and consequences on lives of individuals and societies, as it threatens their security and stability. It is represented in taking a hardline position according to a specific belief, thought or doctrine of a specific group, and leading to reject other opinions and accusing them of infidelity in order to impose what they believe in by using force and violence, which leads to harmful behaviors in society in various political, economic, social, and cultural aspects
