ALIRAN WEBSITE HACKED AFTER FARISH'S ARTICLE

After the publishing of the article by my fellow ALIRAN member, Farish Noor criticising those who used Islam to manipulate racial sentiments against the appointment of a Chinese Malaysian as Acting General Manager of Selangor state-owned PKNS, ALIRAN website (http://www.aliran.com/) had been hacked. You can read the article http://www.othermalaysia.org/2008/10/30/race-and-islam/

It was reported by another fellow member through his website anilnetto.com that soon after the the article appeared on the website, a reader posted a strong comment, personally attacking Farish and his academic credentials, along with a dare to the webmaster to publish it. The comment was approved by the Aliran webmaster yesterday after crude language was edited out.

A foolish act by the concern party.
