Al-Gamaa "Initiative" Just "Lawful Islamism"?

MEMRI analysts released a study on 12/26/06 which describes the 1997 to current Al-Gamaa key leaders' rejection of violent jihad and reinterpretation of the requirement for Sharia as the law of the land. The analysis makes an interesting "compare and contrast" project when matched up with Dr. Pipes' concept of "lawful Islamism." Comments from Pipes appreciated.
