Seidl<\/p>\n<p>If you visited one of 18 church websites hosted by the internet company R Leisure Enterprises last week, you would have gotten an eyeful. That\u2019s because those churches \u2014 stationed across the country \u2014 were hacked by someone who posted messages touting Islam.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was unnerving, but I think also it was an indicator to me of the different world we live in,\u201d Rev. Vinnie Dauer of Fallen Timbers Community Church in Waterville, OH told the Taledo Blade. He received a text message from a member at about 6:30 pm last Tuesday telling him someone had posted \u201cMuslim propaganda\u201d on the site.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one could walk into this church building and put up propaganda that\u2019s contradictory to our belief system, but yet our Web site is a representation of who we are,\u201d the Rev. added.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ryan Leisure, who owns the web hosting company and is also a member of Fallen Timbers church, said the motive seems clear.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seemed like he was clearly trying to convert people. I don\u2019t see how he could actually be successful with this, but he was talking about Christians converting to Islam,\u201d he told the Blade.<\/p>\n<p>The Blade explains what exactly the hacker, who identified himself as Mr. HAil, did to the sites:<\/p>\n<p>The hacker deleted the church Web sites and replaced them with a photograph of Mecca, a few paragraphs about Islam, and a list of 12 other Web sites purportedly containing more information about the faith. The postings didn\u2019t include any inflammatory language against Christians.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"vertical-align: bottom\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/2011\/08\/Muslim-hack-620x325.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"325\" \/><\/p>\n<p>See Videos and Read More: http:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/stories\/18-church-websites-hacked-with-pro-islamic-messages\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jonathon M.

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America! You are losing your freedoms, your children and your country.
