So ... do these folks call themselves the “Mohammed Seminar?”

Bingo--my thoughts exactly! It sounds well and good that segments of Islam are moving forward into modernity, but the same can be said for the ideologically far-left elements in today's Protestant Christian churches. A smug and triumphalist--thoroughly Marxist, I might add-- methodology just won't do in either case.

That isn't to say that I wouldn't welcome a scholarly and critical examination of the Qur'an. There haven't been many Bultmanns, Barths, Tillichs, et al in the Islamic world, i.e., a challenge or opportunity for orthodox apologetic arguments.
