Hackers create false mosque website

Hackers attack a Chicago-area mosque, creating a false website attempting to link the congregation with ISIL, threatening to forcibly convert the suburban community in which the mosque is located to Islam, and insulting the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. According to the CAIR, online Islamophobic attacks create a “breeding ground” for offline issues:
