If they split and differentiate themselves from the extremist in a way that can be measured, then accept them into the fold. Edward, to your point above, you have to clearly separate the extremist from the moderate, so they cannot hide. Just be ready to address the many “moderates” that are silently helping the extremists. They too are extremists.

The result, peaceful Muslims create a new sect that is proven to be unassociated with the violent extremists. The others that continue terrorist attacks are defeated by military force.
There's a big problem with this plan, tho. You're going to need the moderates to be swayed over to the peaceful sect or else they aren't going to have any sort of political power. They'll be the small "radical" function in their country, known as being a bunch of "western puppets" while everyone else has been demonized by the west.
