"Counter-extremism", superficially the opposite of "extremism", is a part of the "War on Terror", and appears to a more modern alternative to "counter-terrorism", one that seems less explicitly disproportionate as a response to non-violent opposition.

In 2003 the UK Home Office announced a program entitled "Preventing violent extremism" which was widely criticised variously its mass surveillance and Islamophobic components. It was later shortened to "Prevent".
Google trends data indicates that "counter-extremism" was launched by the commercially-controlled media in 2012.
