You can make all the laws you want. Unless you're ready to enforce them, they're just words on a paper.
To: Kaslin
CAIR will get in on it as well.

I think it depends on if it goes before a liberal or a conservative judge

The Egyptian Muslim guy in California who went to LAX and shot up the place a white back was addicted to these types of hate programs which he watched on his satellite TV (according to his immigrant neighbor).
One of the best things our government can do in our fight against terrorism, and something we citizens have no ability to do, is keep these types of TV stations from being viewed/aired. I'm not saying it will stop the really bad guys who conspire together, but the everyday Joe's, of which this California guy probably was, will not have the daily brainwashing of hate to knock them over the edge.
Something I do not understand: with all our technology, why don't we just shut these programs down wherever they are? Turn off the satellits if necessary, or whatever it takes.

Yep. The ACLU needs to be prosecuted and hard.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that this person was (1) in the US illegally, and (2) a native of Pakistan. Call it a hunch.

U.S. authorities have arrested a New York man for broadcasting Hezbollah television station al-Manar, which has been designated a terrorist entity by the U.S. Treasury Department
And yet, Al-Jazeera will be legally allowed to open it's own TV stations in the U.S.? Nobody has been more helpful to the terrorists' cause than Al-Jazeera.

I'm not so sure we should act like the Iranians who try to keep their citizens from listening/viewing western media sources. I came to this country because it stands for freedom. There's freedom of speech, and they're entitled to listening to whatever the heck they want.
The thing is that if we didn't let muslims and islamofascists get into this country, we wouldn't have to worry much about what kinds of programs they beam into our country via satelites. And the person who suggested "turning off the satelite" You're obviously not very bright. You don't turn off a satelite. Those things are in space and most of them are smaller than a car so they're practically invisible to us.
We hear all this talk about the "land of the free" and then we talk about starting to censor the airwaves. Doesn't sound exactly like "freedom" to me.

I believe there is a time and place for covert operations.

"...we citizens have no ability to do, is keep these types of TV stations from being viewed/aired."
I completely agree with a ban on any commercial ventures with these groups, but I am not a fan of censorship. What you are suggesting would criminalize for example all the tv stations that showed any of the OBL statements (you know you watched at least one). There are legitimate reasons for people to watch these programs, if for nothing else, to know what is really going on in a sick mind. In short, not a door I want to see opened.
