 James Bond would know what to do :)

MI5 spy chief Jonathan Evans said last November the agency knew of at least 2,000 British-based individuals who posed a direct threat to national security because of their support for terrorism.
If they know who they are, what are they waiting for?

How will they have targets for the smart bombs if they are filtered?

Look for the new game by ActroVision-BS ...A flight sim like no other, fly remote controlled vehicles with SWHellfire missiles. Control robots to diffuse mines and suicide bombers!
Fly the street's of London with Missile-View, hunter-seeker missiles can give you the tourist view, along with action packed radical Islam hunting!
You will be immersed in the back country of Afghanistan in the extra bonus missions- Hunt for Osama! After you fire your SWHellfire missiles, you can call on a B-52 with Bunker Busters to finish the job!

The governments of the free world follow the lead of the Chinese. Quite ironic.

The govt already has intelligence filters. The Messiah of BBR readers, Mark Klein exposed and uprooted one.

Morality Filters?

This is the perfect solution.

What about radical Christianity? How about a filter to remove Britney Spears and Paris Hilton from the internet? They probably cause more damage to our society.

I just can't jump on the wagon that subscribes to censoring an opinion. If some illegal activity is discovered, take action, but we can't have a small group of individuals deciding what information should or should not be available to the public.

Apples and Oranges-I haven't seen any of the folks that you mentioned trying to kill any body or convince other people tom do so-unless you can enlighten me to a few of them and prove it-your statement has no merit.

2 cents

We all know there is content online which is not suitable for all audiences. But sometimes the needs of the MANY outweigh the needs of the FEW… Especially when those labeled as “FEW” don’t have the best interest in mind for the “MANY.”

Unfortunately, the Internet can be good, can be bad, and certainly be VERY ugly. The only way that “Good” can reign most of the time is by filtering/preventing/inhibiting the bad from turning Ugly.

Sometimes “rights” and “privileges” which we all are entitled to have to suffer, so that the rest of us can stay safe.

Honestly, the enemy is hiding in plain sight. If the enemy could easily be identified, then there wouldn’t be a need for filters or the need to track people’s email or internet usage.

To make a long story short, all forms of “Extremism, Radicalism or Fanaticism” can potentially cause dangerous and risky conditions to the “MANY.”

The problem with that logic is that the ultimate goal of these forms of "Extremism, Radicalism or Fanaticism" is to strip away our rights and privileges. I'll take the risk that comes along with freedom every time. I will die free rather than live safe and controlled.

Re: to everyone who says this is a good idea..

The differences are threats made and the ability to carry those threats out. People cannot ignore them and hope they go away, we already know the consequences.
Filtering is not the answer, it's a bandage. The illness is determined, no bandage will stop it.
What do you do with a nasty virus? Utterly destroy it.

Do you advocate the Removal of the C-Porn blocks already in place? We have been informed above that that is the gateway drug of blocked Islamo-Terrorism.

The Islamist sites that actively advocate the slaughtering of your Western Infidel wife, son and daughter,
or willing allow themselves to be used to spread that message
are potentially breaking the law.

I've just given you Harold's Purple Crayon and bestowed upon you the power to draw the line that will forcefully define our safety.

Behind the line = too dangerous for society.
In front of the line = not too dangerous for society.

What do you put behind the line and what do you want available for those that choose?
