Cut to the chase...
Changes to Sweden's rape law broadening the definition of rape are the cause of Sweden's apparent increased rape rate.
The numbers which the Islamophobic hate site reference to make their case are regarding the number of identified rapists. Yes its true that Muslims immigrants are more likely to be identified and charged for rape than white men (based on Sweden's demographics), but not significantly more than other non-white immigrant groups (Blacks and Asians).
Rape allegations where the rapist is described as white have a relatively low identification rate relative to non-white men, suggesting police tend to investigate rape cases involving white men less vigorously than non-white men.
Muslim and non-white immigrants who are charged with rape are far less likely to be convicted than white men charged with rape, suggesting a higher false allegation rate and police bias regarding the decision to pursue an investigation against a non-white immigrant which is less likely to result in a conviction.
Muslims and non-white immigrants have only a slightly higher rate of rape conviction than would be expected based on Sweden's demographics, but that could be explained by the increased effort police to investigate and charge non-white immigrants, relative to white men.
The number of cases where a non-white immigrant was convicted of using physical force to commit rape is relatively low, since they make up a small % of Sweden's demographic. A few extra convictions last year does not indicate a trend and could be a statistical anomaly.
