The KKK is an ideology too. I can choose another metaphor if you prefer. Westboro Baptist Church and christians for example. Or the Hell's Angels and motorcycle riders.
I'm not sure why you think that the actions of these people don't count as a conciliatory gesture for Muslims. They certainly call themselves Muslims, and they are at least as representative of the faith as the extremists whose actions they oppose.

[Edit]I just did some research, and I'd say this sect is significantly more representative. Even absurdly inflated figures put extemist Muslims at less than .01% of Muslims globally. So I'm not sure it's really fair to call global Islam an "ongoing bloodbath".
