They provide an unprecedented inside look at how modern terrorist groups function and operate.

In other words, don't shut the websites down, but rather use them as a means to shut the terrorist organization down instead.

Freedom and happiness are our sole objectives in accomplishing modernisation.

They had to destroy one world and replace it by another. They had to reshape the framework of our intellect itself, to restate and to reform its concepts, to evolve a new approach to Being, a new concept of knowledge, and a new concept of science - and even to replace a pretty natural approach, that of common sense, by another which is not natural at all.
