Jihadist blog

[guayiya]

The Charlotte Observer this week reported on a local nineteen-year old 
named Samir Khan.  Born in Saudi Arabia, he maintains a blog that 
praises Bin Laden and advocates violent jihad as the duty of all true 
Muslims.  The blog is said to be among the top one hundred in the 
country in number of hits.  His parents, with whom he lives, are 
reported to disagree completely with his views.  I do not know his 
citizenship status.
Do list members find this a close free speech case or an easy one?  Can 
the blog be shut down based on its content?  Can records be compiled of 
those who visit the blog?  On one hand, it is not easy to calculate the 
imminence of the danger.  On the other, its gravity is obviously 
extreme.  And this differs from the case of the website that menaced 
named abortion providers, because there the identified targets could at 
least seek extra protection.
