"Instead of presenting themselves as victims, Muslims should address this fear by developing a moderate, modern and good neighborly version of Islam that rejects radical Islam, jihad and the subordination of 'infidels,' " he said.

This is laughable.

God (Allah in the case of the Muslims) sets the agenda, and not the adherants. If you can't follow the fundamentals of Islam or at least try to follow them; then get out of the religion.

Redesigning Islam to make it Infidel friendly is ridiculous. - Tom

I disagree. It's the interpretation of the Word of the G-d in question that sets the agenda. If not, then there would never have been any change in Church doctorine. At one time, many sects of Christianity were rather bloodthirsty, and over time, this changed. I hope that Islam is able to change as well, but it must change from within. At this time, I don't think that it will change, because they (those in charge) don't want it to change, and they're getting plenty of funding to see that it doesn't.
