That site has three translations in parallel. I've looked at only a few of the quotes. Some seem accurate (but of the sort you'd find in many religions -- believe or you'll be sorry ... that sort of thing). Some are inaccurate. 2:96 is completely distorted. His version: Jews are the greediest of all humankind. They'd like to live 1000 years. But they are going to hell. The closest translation:
And thou wilt find them greediest of mankind for life and (greedier) than the idolaters. (Each) one of them would like to be allowed to live a thousand years. And to live (a thousand years) would be no means remove him from the doom. Allah is Seer of what they do.
It may be that this passage refers to Jews (I didn't read back enough to be SURE from the context), but my understanding of the passage is: "you can run but you can't hide from God ... you can live 1000 years, but God is patient and if you have done wrong, you will be punished."
The guy seems to be pulling partial quotes in a deliberate attempt to put Islam in a bad light. One could do the same with any religion (that promises doom for the unbelievers).
