You seem to be living under the delusion that your actions can somehow
influence the extremists. There's only two actions that will influence
the extremists in any way and that is to kill or imprison them. Anything
else you might try, like trying to make nice with them or negotiate with
them, is a complete waste of time and merely hastens your own death or
imprisonment.
