Danish Web sites hacked by cartoon protesters

"STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Suspected Muslim hackers have broken into around 600 Danish Web sites to post threats and protest against satirical cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad, an Internet monitoring group said on Wednesday.

If pages outside Denmark, where the cartoons first appeared, were included, then the hack attacks numbered around 1,000, the Zone-H Web site, www.zone-h.org, said. Zone-H tracks attacks on Web sites and listed the sites which had been hacked.

"Danish, you'r D3ad," one page said in garbled English.

The page had been added to a Web site run by photographer Thomas Jorgensen and below was a photo of a mannequin doll painted in the Danish flag and hanging from its neck.

1. No don't kill the Danishes!

I love the danishes! Especially when they have cream cheese in them! Will these savage muslimaniacs stop at nothing!

2. "Chill, dude. Or be iced."

The reference being, of course, to the traditional phrase "chilling free speech".

3. This story smells funny...

Personally, I am led to believe that Muslim disruptor's had very little, if anything, to do with this. This seems to be the MO of your typical internet disruptor's, who are if anything, looking for attention. This line seals the deal for my theory:

"Danish, you'r D3ad,"

The 3 as an "e" is what has alarm bells ringing for me.

4. I agree neocons would sooner stir up their enemies than their followers.

All the same for them.

But I think in this case it is really the middle east & oil dollars in the form of anti-democratic elite in the middle east that is behind this. And - for sure - the insulting cartoons. Left them wide open for an attack.
