> AfD are extreme because of what their positions are

Then show us their extreme positions! Their official party program is actually quite tame.

a cursory Google search reveals that they deny anthropogenic climate change, reject the idea of women in the workplace, and wish to deny marriage rights to homosexuals

They are conservative and have a few idiots and extremist people in their ranks yes, but that doesn't make the party as a whole extremist.

I never heard about their women-workspace-denial.

And being against marriage of homosexuals was the majority opinion from the beginning of time until around 10 years ago so you can hardly count that as extremist.
