Hackers Leave Muslim Threats On Battleship's Web Site
MOBILE -- The U.S.S. Alabama Web site was targeted by hackers over the weekend. The culprits claiming to be from Iran, somehow managed to deface the site's home page with a message warning of consequences if Muslims beliefs are not respected.

The unknown individuals also threatened to leave similar messages on other Web sites.

John Strope, whose Dogwood Productions company oversees Web sites, said dozens of other Web pages were also tampered with. He said all of them were filled with grammatical errors.

Strope doesn't think the incident is connected to the battleship's military history. He said it was "pure luck of the draw" that hackers were able to gain access.

2. "Iranian terrorist hackers"- how convenient. I call "bullshit" on this!
This is a false-flag US propaganda ploy if ever there was one.

3. If true
its another example of how Christian and Muslim radicals are very similar. There will be consequences if our religious beliefs are not respected. That could be a Muslim or a Christian leader making that claim.

5. There are a lot of Muslim hackers active now. They hit my site too.
They did a piss-poor hacking job though. It took about 10 seconds to fix, and the hack only occured on one page, and then only if called directly. Lame.
