Yeah, good job repeating all the trigger words from the western media.
I recognized those are trigger words but they aptly describe the current situation in France. Hence, I am not going to apologize for using them.
Guess what, we have some very stark case studies right before us. China built re-education camps to de-radicalize extremists and at the same time passed legislations outlawing publications that insult other religions. Did China "appease" religious extremism, or "bow down" to fanatics? I don't think so.
China has a blanket legislation that imposes prior restraints over all publishing, which includes religious materials. Without state approval, you can't publish. Hence, publications like Charlie Hebdo could never have existed in the first place in China. I think the legislation was passed in 2001, long before the Kunming train station attack in 2014.
As for religious affair regulation, it was passed and published in 2004, in which article 7 expressly forbidding publishing materials that create conflicts between worshipers and non-worshipers (atheists), promote religious extremism, use religion to foster ethic disunity, discrimination of religious worshipers or non-worshipers . In other words, China didn't pass new laws after the rise of religious extremism in Xinjing and Tibet. It had them long before domestic terrorist attacks. The notion of appeasement and bowing down didn't apply to China. Still that didn't prevent the rise of religious extremism and terror attacks in China.

(三)歧视、侮辱信教公民或者不信教公民的;
(四)宣扬宗教极端主义的;
(五)违背宗教的独立自主自办原则的。
China made some progress in combating religious extremism in Xinjing and Tibet. However, the parallel society also exists in China. The followings originated from Chinese social media.
Muslim only seats
Muslim cashier counters
Muslim only showers. Remember religions are supposed to be forbidden in Chinese educational institutions.
The western narrative is a false dichotomy. Western politicians need an enemy in order to distract the population from the reality of their exploitation. The narrative you repeated above is designed to perpetuate this state of tension between Muslims and non-Muslims, to the ultimate benefit of the ruling class.
As a cynic I wholeheartedly agree with this. Divide and rule is an old controlling method for the elites and it's effective simply because it exploits the visible inequalities between groups.
