You speak as if this hasn't already started.

There are many countries in the mideast that already have a blanket ban on
the ".il" TLD, regardless of content.

The censorship of major second-level domains in China is well known --
whether the motivation is religious or political is irrelevant to me, as (in
my personal opinion) in this context religion *is* politics. And even the
bastion of freedom is making its own censorship
