"Islamophobia is not a crime against humanity"

I wander over to the pro-Islamic website Loonwatch from time to time, and get involved in discussions on their boards.  The articles are often really poor, tendentious and deliberately (or obtusely or ignorantly) misleading.
A recent example was setting up of a straw man: "Islamophobic conspiracy theorists" are making up stories about Islam's aims for world-wide dominance and in doing this they're just as wicked as the Nazis who demonised and destroyed the Jews.   Hmmm...
The article is here .
My response, still "awaiting moderation" (what are they afraid of?).....

Meeker Says: Your comment is awaiting moderation. 

Darter’s article above partially quotes Robert Spencer on Islam and “world domination” and comments:
Islamophobic conspiracy theorists believe that Muslims, through a combination of violent jihad and stealth Shari’ah, are out to “Islamize” world civilization and issue a dhimmi status on those who do not comply.
But the quote from Spencer leaves out the evidence he gives of Muslim scholars and Islamic law which call for world domination. In other words, it’s not “Islamophobic conspiracy theorists” who say that Islam seeks world domination; it’s authoritative Islam itself. Amongst these authorities are Majid Khadduri, an Iraqi scholar of Islamic law of international renown; Imran Ahsan Khan Nyazee, Assistant Professor on the Faculty of Shari’ah and Law of the International Islamic University in Islamabad; Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran; The Umdat al-Salik, a Shafi’i manual of Islamic law endorsed by the most prestigious institution in Sunni Islam, Al-Azhar University in Cairo. And let’s not forget the Muslim Brotherhood in America which has said the Brotherhood “must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.
Spencer concludes:
Anyone who believes in freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and legal equality for all people should be concerned about this Islamic imperative, which would deny all three, and more besides.”. And readers here [at Loonwatch.com] are not concerned?
