There is judge from Pennsylvania who found someone on the internet who wanted to do a terrorist attack and she was able to lure him in and eventually the FBI caught him. The judge was successful in getting this terrorist or at least lead to his arrest for few simple reasons. The guy was not smart at all, and he only spoke English on the terrorist forum because he was an American, and he was too stupid and did not hide his IP address. So it was really luck all over because this guy wanted to be a terrorist but he is not one of the well trained Al Qaeda terrorists who are well aware that they are being observed and they do not make stupid mistakes as that guy from Seattle did.

The British government tracked for 2 years an internet terrorist guru whose name was "Irahabi 007". Despite all the available technologies and monitoring all his internet activities they could not locate him in the UK and they could not find his IP address because he was very good in hiding his IP address and not leaving traces. He was finally arrested but only after the British government arrested two people who knew him. Also "Irahabi 007" was British born muslim and he wrote everything in English.

Now imagine islamic terrorists on the internet who are very well versed in hiding their IP and similar hiding identity techniques, are very well aware that they are being observed and monitored, they are very disciplined, and communicate only in Arabic, it will be extremely hard to get them.

And your closing statement is what I tried to explain to Blam the other day in another post.
One problem is one does not need to use web sites, but only maintain well updated email address lists. But again I am not saying I am against your suggestion to have all known sites and the thousands that re-pop up extinguished as they are made known.
Of course DNS server farms in the far east and associated ISPs will find a lot of new business. The Internet is not what it was fifteen years ago.
And a DNS server(s) can exclude access of the main stream, and only allow those servers at ISPs to have access by choosing.
In fact this is what China has been up to. They are building their own Internet Backbone. Likewise, eventually the Islamic world will move in that direction. It is just a matter of time.

Thank you so much for posting the info. about the terrorist conspiracy websites. Didn’t realize that these sort of tools were available to the terrosists and supported by legitimate companies who do web hosting.

I’ll get on sending the e-mails right now. This CANNOT be allowed to go on.
