I'm certainly willing to believe there are moderate Muslims in existence who condemn the extremists. It just doesn't mean anything to me. It doesn't mean anything to the extremists either.
This is the analogy that leaps to mind to convey why. Imagine extremist Islam is a pit bull. When the pit bull has once again attacked an innocent person on the street and the owner says "bad dog", it doesn't mean very much. The dog is still just as much of a problem.
