Allot of non Muslims are checking out just what everyone if fighting about. I know I'm one that has checked out some of those sites just to learn what all the fighting is about (not that I learned much about the fighting)

the reason is this:
Christianity is very boring. And Christians already know more than enough about their own religion. Also, non Christians have no interest in reading about the Christian nonsense that is on these sites.
Islam however, is right in the spotlight. Everyone, regardless of religious beliefs is intrigued and curious to find out what about the religion causes so many Muslims (I do not mean all, or even most, so dont get your panties all in a bunch) to to go crazy and want to kill everyone that does not agree with them. On top of that, the Gov probably has a couple thousand people constantly monitoring these sites for obvious reasons.
Another reason is that there are thousands more christian websites than Islamic ones, thus diluting the results. If you were to add up all of the traffic collectively to each respective point of view, I would be willing to bet that Christians have got Muslims beat (at least as far as total web traffic).

Mostly because we are amazed that a group can be so compelled to kill in the name of religion and be so ancient. It is like looking into the past. When Islam has their reformation and cathes up with the rest of the would, the sites will be less interesting. But really..what are you attempting to prove...That Islam is good or something...Who has islam helped ? Islam doesn't even do itself any good...Why aren't Muslims out protesting the hijacking of their religion by a bunch murderers.?? It really makes me wonder where this peacefullnees is....perhaps secretly you support this stuff.

OK, It is easy to explain. Lots of Muslims or people who are curious go these web sites.
If this is a proof why Islam is the best, why are the web sites only ranked 564, 569, 704, 835. why are they not ranked 1,2,3 and 4.

Why would there be a need to explain this? What does this prove except that these sites are visited often? Just because the sites register a high visit statistics do not mean that people who went there bothered to read what's there. Numbers do not matters when it comes to matters of truth. Many visits do not mean that the contents presented in these Islamic sites are true.

People of all faiths are visiting sites related to Islam, because it's a religion of such great contradiction. When someone talks of a "True Christian", the assumption is of someone who is generally kind and friendly. When someone mentions a "True Jew" we think of a kindly man wearing traditional garb, praying at a wall. If the term "True Muslim" is used, nobody knows whether to look for the nice man in the white flowing robe, or duck for cover.

Well u know Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. But I think alot of people are interested in learning about this religion, cuz I know I am since 9-11 happen, because Muslim were the cause of it. But your religion is pretty intresting.

Some people want to gain understanding as to why Islam trots out peace, love and understanding when whacked out people behind the rubric of Islam are bombing people left and right. Denounce their behavior and I will believe that there some Islamic who think that these radicals have thier religion wrong.

What do think it proofs? Many people being curious about something doesn't mean it's true. Many people believing in something also doesn't mean it's true. Do you know what Jesus Christ said (whom you believe to be a prophet), "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." (Matthew 7:14)

How do we "explain" that? Islam is a huge religion so naturally it generates a lot of activity online. What, you're not saying that's supposed to prove it's the correct religion, are you?
