FBI investigates vandalism on Islamic website

“The FBI launched an investigation Wednesday after a hacker broke into the website of a Southern California organization of Islamic religious leaders, leaving an expletive-laced message against Muslims. The person attacked the website of the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California late Tuesday, said the group’s executive director, Shakeel Syed. The Anaheim-based group is a coalition of imams and religious leaders from 75 mosques. Syed said the site was shut down but is expected to be in operation today. ‘It was very nasty graffiti. It’s another incident and proof that Islamophobia is alive and healthy,’ Syed said.”
