I haven’t followed the topic on FR much. Various children are using the computer most of the time I’m awake, for one thing. And right now, I’m trying to keep DP from cutting Frank’s hair! (Told him I would hate him forever.)

I agree with you, I think, that Christians should be much more willing to say, charitably but firmly, “Because our religion is true and yours is false, actually. Nothing personal.” However, I think Greg Gutfeld is also making a point. One of the angles Islamists like to use is that their culture is moral, while ours is not ... and that is just false.

Right, and that's a very important point.

"However, I think Greg Gutfeld is also making a point."

He's making, at best, morally self-nullifying statement. His great proposal paints the picture that the contest is between the hilarious fun culture of sport-rutting on the one hand, and the grim, morally-stern imams on the other.

No matter how Gutfeld intends it, that's what the idea yields in terms of visual imagery: a carnival of spiritual vacuity, vs. a hell-bent spiritual force.

Both sides are repulsive. But between the two, the grim Muslims are by far the more likely to prevail.
