Sorry, but that's completely wrong.

Putting it into domestic terms, it's like appealing to Reagan Democrats and independents. That's good. Putting Democrats onto our ticket or into our government is bad.

I'm sure you can see the difference if you are inclined to.

But, to continue with your analogy, appealing to the independants and Reagan democrats still involves putting Kennedy in a position of power - not directly, in all probability, but he'd still be pulling the strings.

The aim might be to appeal to the rational people, but the process that he seems to be advocating will still be giving power to the islamofascists.

I consider those who support the Taliban to be islamofascists - there might be a reasonable person buried under all of the bigotry and hate, but you can't drag that person out until he's thoroughly cleaned of his tainted mindset. To attempt to integrate these people into the system will do nothing more than taint the system as a whole.

To put it another way, a better analogy might be dismantling the Democratic party, and then inviting them back into the government - no, they won't be Democrats anymore, but they'll still be spouting the exact same nonsense, and trying to force the exact same failed policies.
