Moderates

From Denmark, possibly a step in the right direction:

Syrian-born psychologist Wafa Sultan said moderate Muslims have always struggled to make their voice heard even within their own religion, but that the cartoon uproar gave them a platform to present their ideas to the whole world.

"The cartoon crisis was the first step to break out of the box in which we have been sitting since the 7th century," Sultan said, referring to the time of Islam's founding. "We as Muslims must learn to listen to others' opinion."
I say 'possibly' because who knows who is sincere these days. CAIR seems like a good idea until you find out that they've got ties to terrorists - then their efforts seem to be aimed towards keeping the giant sleeping while the threat grows. Real moderate Muslims could help reduce the threat while safeguarding their religion from those who would hijack it.

My internet connection is sketchy, btw, so posting may seldom be.
