That's very scary. 
 
Let's see:  Over 17 million hits on the search term "how to make a bomb"

European Union interior ministers debated Monday proposals to sanction
or shut down Internet sites spreading "terrorist propaganda" and
bomb-making instructions. 

EU Justice Commissioner Franco Frattini told reporters that he had urged
the ministers, during informal talks in Lisbon

that radical Muslims and other extremists had mastered the use of the
Internet as a tool for propaganda, organizing and education. 

It said websites were being used to stir young Muslims

terror," promoting the creation of "terror cells".
