Moderate Muslims are constantly in fear of being accused of not being Muslim (there is a specific word for this, but I can't remember it): and they accept the right of the radicals to make this decision. As long as that is the case, there's no hope. *If* the moderates had and used the power to expel the extremists, then it could be different. I guess. But I suspect that the 'moderates' I've meet have in their heart of hearts believed that the extremists were the 'real' Muslims.
