I appreciate your perspective, but it's naive. Here's an analogy... in any war, only about 10-20% of soldiers are actually on the front lines shooting. The rest are in a support role.
Just so in Islam. Whether they are moderate or extremist, they still have the same goal. They seek to turn Dar Al Harb (the world at war--the world that hasn't yet submitted) into Dar Al Islam (the world at peace--the world that has submitted). The extremists represent those who are fighting on the front lines while the moderates are those who work toward the same goals, albeit in a different, "peaceful" fashion. Islam's borders around the world wouldn't be so bloody without the cooperation of more than a small group of radicals.
One of the five pillars of Islam is charity. However, the only charity that qualifies is charity to Muslims. Since it has been shown that as many as 90% of Muslim charities are complicit in funding terrorism, it isn't a huge stretch to point out that even the moderates are fueling the beast... and they are not ignorant of the purpose their charity supports.
A moderate Muslim who truly seeks peace with his neighbors is one who is ignorant of his religion or one who is practiciing "taqqiya"... lying to the stupid infidels in order to hide their true intentions.
Sorry. Islam is a cancer and there is no "good" cancer.

Where on earth did you get this from?
“Just so in Islam. Whether they are moderate or extremist, they still have the same goal. They seek to turn Dar Al Harb (the world at war—the world that hasn’t yet submitted) into Dar Al Islam (the world at peace—the world that has submitted). “
Right out of OBL’s handbook. Those who don’t fight against the west are traitors to Islam, blah, blah. Unfortunately for you, millions of Muslims reject this, ally with the west, and wage war on Al Qaeda. We are actively training Muslims in Iraq and elsewhere to fight against the extremists. We have military bases set up all over the muslim world.
