'Anonymous' hacks Tunisian Salafist Facebook pages

'Anonymous' hacks Tunisian Salafist Facebook pages 'Anonymous', the hackers' collective infamous for targeting the CIA and Vatican in its social justice campaign has admitted to hacking several Tunisian Salafist Facebook pages on Sunday . The group's Tunisian offshoot infiltrated the Salafist Al-Tahrir party's page, where it replaced the party's flag with the Tunisian national flag. The move is seen as a response to a Salafist student who last week took down the Tunisian flag at the University of Manouba and replaced it with the party's flag.
The group declared in a video that it would target Salafist pages and websites as an expression of defending freedom in Tunisia. The group's members said they were Muslims who believed in God and the Prophet Mohammed but they didn't want their religion to justify dictatorship. The group sent a message to the Salafists saying: "Some people are putting their countries' flags on the moon while you are taking it off the land"
The group emphasised its rejection to associating religion with politics, warning they would target extremists' pages and websites to defend the country's freedom against those who oppose it.
