UK: Muslims Hack Catholic Website
News from the Northwestern Evening Mail states that Muslims have hacked into the website of a Catholic church. The church is St Patrick's, situated on Michaelson Road, Barrow Island in Barrow in Furness, Cumbria.
Last week, the website for the group - www.stpatrickscumbria.co.uk - instead of showing the information relating to St Patrick's Church, was diverted to display pages from a website called Islam Answers Back, which belongs to Islam Info an anti-Christian Muslim website. Since the web page was diverted, it is now impossible to view the original Catholic site.
A message appears saying: "Directory Listing Denied", followed by the statement "This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed".
The parish priest at St Patrick's Church, Father Joe O'Connor, was not contactable, but Father John Watson, a colleague from St Mary's Roman Catholic Church, told Northwestern Evening Mail: "I'm flummoxed by this. I don't know enough technically to understand how such a thing could happen."
Canon Stephen Shield of the diocese of Lancaster said: "Nobody seems to have a clue as to how this has happened. I had not authorised anyone to take action about the website."
Muslims on webforums often boast about their hacking skills. What they fail to realise is that such actions are regarded by anyone who finds them, not as a victory for Islam, but a victory against themselves. No-one thinks such actions are clever.
And it is a sign of desperation that Muslims who despise Christians show such intolerance, especially at this time, when people are waking up to the threat that so many young and angry Muslims may be to our societies. This is not a way to make friends and influence people.
