What about someone preaching "kill all black people, kill them in the streets and their homes"? This is an idea, and a potentially dangerous one. The right to free speech does not apply to all possible kinds of speech.
Of course racist language should not be illegal. But violent-inciting racist language should be. Anti-Christian or anti-Western language should not be illegal, but language recommending non-Muslims should die is illegal. And many of these websites and lectures promote killing of non-Muslim civilians.

Saying that group X should be killed in general at some indefinite time in the future is perfectly legal, but saying "hey, we need to kill this guy right here in front of us, right now" is not.
