Islam's appeal is exactly that - it's a complete religious and political system that means never having to think again. And you get to kill anybody who doesn't agree with you.
That said, the author's points about the collapse of Christianity are certainly accurate. With Vatican II, the Catholic Church abandoned the entire ethical, moral and theological structure of traditional Catholicism, and since most Protestant churches - whether they knew it or not - had always tacitly depended on the Catholic Church to uphold these standards, once it collapsed, there was no bulwark.
Basically, all the Christian churches (except for isolated congregations here and there) threw their believers to the wind, abandoned the poor to lives without structure and meaning, and went off to indulge themselves in feel-good Marxism and sexual dilly-dallying.
They were false shepherds, and now the wolves are devouring the sheep.

Nothing trumps God's approval of your hating and killing the Infidels,especially the ones who put you in jail. Thanks to Allah there is justice after all in a society that doesn't understand you and your criminal behavior.-Tom
