Well, science is supposed to be a self cleaning thing. This might very well be peer-reviewed, but if all those peers have the same opinion, for now it might seem like sensible science. Until someone comes around that rebuts it, it should stand as science if it's anywhere legitimate. I've had a quick look, it does look like it's an organization that at least on the surface tries to do the right thing, but also seems to have an opinion on things. It's good for a scientist to have opinions, but when publishing research, it should be in a neutral way. But science would suffer if you do not allow people to publish their own papers, how good or bad they may be. In the end, all you learn in many years of university is to judge the quality of a paper, and some random stuff you most likely never use again.
And yes, paying to publish is rather normal.
