Hence them being referred to as an extremest group.

Sounds pretty extreme to me...

ya, thats when they ask the U.S. to step in and we get pissed on by the world...if it were up to me, i'd give them guns and tell them to deal with the problem themselves or shut the hell up.

Yes.  A couple of years ago they announced they had hung a 7 year old boy accused of being a government spy.

The flaw with that reasoning, even under Sharia, is that you don't just get to say Sharia is such and such to justify whatever tribal customs you're trying to perpetuate.  The most respected Islamic scholars have been based in Egypt for quite some time and they have repeatedly stated that educating women is not against Sharia, FGM is unislamic and on and on.  Uneducated yahoos ignore them and claim to be doing things to support something they don't understand.

I am no fan of Islam, but uneducated tribal groups will twist anything to get what they want.

It's our fault for not negotiating with them properly and not apologizing enough for random videos made by strange and otherwise unknown weirdos.  We should have no aggressive preconditions such as properly defended embassies because that is the very arrogant and aggressive colonialist actions that they're shooting children over.  If we apologize enough surely they'll stop being extremist barbarians because they'll be our friends.  Remember, as spoken to the leaders of NATO just a week ago, the future does not belong to those who are disrespectful to the prophet mohammed.
