You need to post the complete discussion, as this is from Andrew Sullivan's blog. The above piece is from a reader, not from him. His comment is as follows:

I am not going to second-guess this reader's experience. But I would say that, from what I know, Islam is not monolithic and has many strains and sub-varieties that will inevitably affect its capacity to adapt to modernity. I can also think of two predominantly Muslim countries that don't support this argument: Indonesia and Malaysia. But that Islam does indeed have a problem I'm afraid I no longer doubt. "Problem" may even be too euphemistic a word. Pathology in some places is more appropriate.

Are they ethnically the same ?

Yes many muslims of India are hindu converts, but aren't many conquering colonists?
Any Hindu freepers out there to edify me?
