I looked at islamonline and don't have a problem with it. Hope you're not disappointed. Sure it is biased about some things. It has an islamic viewpoint. Commondreams, though, is more like a parallel to worldnetdaily on the opposite side. Both are hardcore and political. If it were me, if I were going to ban one of those I'd ban the other too. Not so islamonline though based on what I saw.

You're wrong, Michael. Worldnetdaily and Commondreams have different goals. Commondreams is about commentary, pretends to no more and no less. It's like National Review, etc. If you wish to ban those from FADG, then it would make sense to ban commondreams. Worldnetdaily, on the other hand, pretends to be a newspaper. It's like the Washington Times in that regard. Each acts as if it has some allegiance to getting stories correct. But then when they are accurately accused of not doing so, they say something on the order of, hey, it's all political spin anyway. So little or no commitment to honest reporting. I have no argument for or against Worldnetdaily. But it's not in the same game as commondreams.
