That is one theory. However it doesn't answer the question. How do you know that is the case? How do you know that the "moderates" are not actually wanting to covertly support what the fanatics are doing? Think of Lebanon. When they got tore apart by Isreal. Jihad Construction came around to help them repair the houses, etc, etc. It was to buy them over. Where do you think Jihad Construction got it's money from?
