I think sites like these help take the sting out of Islam.
They creates a certain awareness of the other argument on the internet where free speech is limited with Islamic regimes.
They also create a sense of defensiveness amongst the Ummah, so the words of "Islam is a peaceful religion" is heard more than the dangerous side, which is hushed down.
They also create at atmmosphere of comradery amonst non-believers from where other initiatives are often spurned (e.g. had I not seen Hassans videos, I might not have done my own)
And last but not least, many people have left Islam after reading sites like this & Sina's.
So you could say, with the greatest respect, that I disagree
