Nobody is trying to set a base standart for what extremism is, it is up to the community's habits. Not only pakis or turks, every muslim community has unislamic habits. Today's extremism is different than before already, u cant try to bring any simple answer from Prophet's time. Extremism is making something haraam to yourself which is not haraam in islam,thats what Prophet told us. And the answer lies within.
Wearing a silk tie is not haraam by the way. Silk is not haraam to males if it is only 4 fingers' width on the cloth,while indeed not touching to the skin.
