I am not sure I have an answer about why they are so silent but I am guessing it is a combination of things.  One, I truly think there is genuine fear about being an outspoken Muslim opposed to jihad, violence, etc.  I also think that the number of truly moderate Muslims is probably less than believed.  I suspect many more Muslims, even those not politically active or actively supporting jihad are sympathetic to their desired outcome. Because of that they are willing to turn a blind eye or try to ignore the more radical elements.  It can probably be argued that there is no such thing as moderate Muslim.  There are either observant Muslims or secular Muslims, the latter not supportive of radicalism.  The secular Muslims are not great in number and those that are probably keep a very low profile in Islamic nations.
