Catholic League Home Page Hacked In Retaliation for Statements

On Saturday, the New York Post published an article about the new movie, Kingdom of Heaven, which is an account of the Third Crusade. The article quotes William Donahue, President of the Catholic League, as saying: "It is a matter of historical record that Muslim violence — in the form of a jihad — was responsible for Christians striking back, hence the Crusades." Apparently in response, the Catholic League's website was hacked over the weekend. Its home page was replaced with a semi-literate message urging the freeing of Palestine and of Iraq. The Catholic League has contacted the New York City police and the FBI about the intrusion.
