That's a common criticism of these measures. Helps the extremists, helps Erdogan. But a country can't just tolerate anything for fear of that. 

Yup. If a country does not want to allow it spreading within their borders, they should take steps to prevent it. 

But the trick is trying to determine who and what should be considered radical Islam. Because what really helps the extremists cause is expelling and cracking down on normal Muslims that aren't radical.
