I think this is a great thing. I think it would do wonders if others in similar positions of influence did the same thing. I think stuff like this helps. I'd like it to happen more often.

eta, from the article: "Dozens of other, far more moderate Muslim groups have also condemned the recent killings in Paris. Dalil Boubakeur, the head of the Great Mosque of Paris, was quick to decry the killings in no uncertain terms."

I don't think anyone participating in this discussion is qualified to opine on what Muslims - moderate or otherwise - say to each other about these types of events.
I also have no idea whether statements like these help. I suspect not very much, as they seem to crop up in the aftermath each time.
