We shouldn't be afraid to consider the possibility that if Jews adopt friendlier policies toward Arabs and Muslims, then Arabs and Muslims will adopt friendlier policies toward Jews, and we shouldn't be afraid to consider the possibility that this is nonsense. There's nothing racist about having an open mind.

I believe that more or less that agrees generally with what Heibges said. At the very least it doesn't contradict it. Though the sense of the greater muslim world as a whole being the dangerous force compared to the harmlessness of the individuals is the main difference it seems from the idea of isolated sects of extremism.
