Note
The -s belongs to the noun alone. Extremist also works as an adjective (extremist views, an extremist group), and English adjectives do not mark the plural. So several such organizations are extremist groups, never extremists groups. The plural form names the people themselves. When the word describes something else, such as an ideology, a party or a website, it stays singular in form.
