Fulani extremism in Nigeria

hi, I just put the following on the article talk page, and also at the WP:NPOV noticeboard. I am not asking for any specific remedy, but I asked for guidance on the word “extremism”, and you may wish to follow or reply to the discussion. Pending input over there I plan to do nothing with the article except perhaps some wiki links and/or light ce. Overall I thought the article looked well sourced but maybe in need of a second draft?

The word extremist

I have reservations about the use of this word and will run them past the WP:NPOV bulletin board. Sources appear to be solid academic stuff but would need to also use the word. Much is made of the fulani being pastoralists and so are the jihadis in Mali, which doesn’t follow unless someone explains it better to me than that. In Mali aren’t the jihadis Tuareg? that doesn’t sound very close to Nigeria, in either culture or geography ... Maybe a bad generalization, and important to rule out when calling people extremists. Again, for clarity, the sources absolutely must say exact that, but better yet would be to avoid the fighting words and call it Herder-farmer conflicts in Nigeria or some similar name?
