I'm not sure if muslims and non muslims knew about this but there was a reach out by muslim scholars to the christian community after the pope speech in 2006 - anyway here is the website and what the Common word was all about

In their Open Letter to the Pope (see english.pdf), for the first time in recent history, Muslim scholars from every branch of Islam spoke with one voice about the true teachings of Islam

Yep

sadly when the serious scholars speak they get drowned out by the people that can shout the loudest. This was the real reply after the pope incident.
