It is being reported that the arrests of three (alleged) terrorists in Toledo, Ohio, resulted from a tip from another Muslim who federal officials referred to as "the Trainer." See Jihadwatch and the Toledo Blade. The federal officials have confirmed the identity of the tipster as a recent Islam convert named in news articles.
In May, the Federal prosecutors moved the court to bar defense attorneys from dissmeninating photographs of the tipster, a paid FBI informant, out of fear for the tipster's life. See Toledo Blade Article of May 2, 2006. Apparently prosecutors fear a strategy of witness assassination. I have not located a news report on the court ruling.
According to news reports (Cleveland Plain Dealer article here), the tipster shared the Muslim faith, but I would feel more comfortable if there were more reports that terrorists were caught resulting from Muslim cooperation.
Message to Muslims: If you want to persuade us that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance, turn your bad guys in.
