The type of shit at that website is EXACTLY the sort of right wing shit that can be seen at places like this :-

Matthew Craw said:First of all, Islam is clearly not imploding, we're talking about the world's fastest growing major religion.
Anthony Appleyard said:There was a partial local implosion in or near (what is now) Pakistan in the 19th century. In Qadian in Punjab, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad started preaching and said that he was a new prophet after Muhammad. His followers did not desert Islam completely, but started a new very heretical sect called Ahmadi. His grandson (who was his 4th successor) died in April 2003. There are now 20 million Ahmadis.
Hendryk said:I have to agree with Matthew Craw. Islam is far from imploding, it is increasing in both number of worshipers and worldwide influence. And frankly, the idea that "anti-islamic information coming in over the public media" could be a factor in its hypothetical demise seems unrealistic at best. Has criticism of conservative Christianity by the public media done anything but inflame conservative Christians even more? Plus we seem to be talking here about a US-based right-wing website, meaning it has about as much impact on Muslims as would a Saudi-based Islamic website on Christians, i.e. none at all.
It's high time we threw in the bin our copies of Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations" (what I privately like to refer to as "Huntington's Disease") and instead picked up Benjamin Barber's "Jihad versus McWorld" in the dusty corner where we left it. If a clash is taking place, it is between a de facto coalition of religious extremists (Jewish, Christian and Muslim) and the rest of us.
