I'm not muslim, however, I think your last statement probably hits the nail on the head. In my mind, if I were a muslim who disagreed with the extremists I would probably want to fly under the radar. Making myself a target of crazy extremists wouldn't seem like a really good (or safe) choice. Just my opinion though.
Edited to add: I'm not sure if "moderate" is the right word to be using. I think someone could be very religious without being violent. Just a thought
