Theres a difference between "Moderate" and "Supressed". Is it that this modern majority of moderate muslims are, quite simply, too shit scared to stand up to the extremists for fear of being labelled Anti-Muslim (with us or against us, rather like the US is currently portraying itself in the western world).

Someone would do something about if it Muslims, and even to a greater extend, Arabs, would agree with eachother. Today, there is no such thing as a worldwide Muslim identity. Islam is split in different sects, and they have a very hard time working together.
This is like asking the Protestants, Catholics, Orthodox and Maronites to work together to define whether there is a purgatory or not.
