Extremism is making something haraam to yourself which is not haraam in islam,thats what Prophet told us. And the answer lies within.

i was trying to separate extremism from ignorance. Both can have horrific and tragic consequences.
Extremism is as what God and the Prophet defined. Islam is the middle path, its neither too liberal nor too conservative.
Ignorance is a much larger problem and that is why it is said that Shaytan fears a single, educated Muslim far more than a thousand ignorant zealots.

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.

There is ikhtilaaf on this issue.
In the interests of full disclosure, I should say that most of the ties I wear myself are silk - artificial silk, but silk nonetheless and yes, I was also advised by trusted imams that if it doesn't touch the skin, its acceptable, specifically in the case of ties.
