Neyland town council's website has been taken over by a group of anonymous hackers, who say they are fighting the 'misconception that Muslims are spreading terrorism'.

The group, which calls itself Anoncoders, took control of the page this morning (Wednesday), meaning the site's usual content is currently unavailable.

A message left on the page reads:

"To All Corporate Governments | To All Countries.

"This Is To Inform All And Everyone On The World, That Muslims Are Not Terrorists.

"It Is A Misconception That Muslims Are Spreading Terrorism , When In All Reality , The Governments Are Killing Innocent's And They Are The True Terrorists.

"Islam Is Religion Of Peace And It Reaches The Most Peaceful Ways Of Living. Allah Is The Most Beloved To His Creatures In This World.

"The Most Beloved Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W.) Was The Most Loving & Honest Person Which World Has Ever Seen.

"So, How Can His Followers Be Terrorists.

"An Insurrectionist Who Kills A Noncombatent Is A Guilty To Islam, Any Kind Of Violence Is A Capital Offence In The Islamic Laws So Surely One Can Say,
That Any One Who Is Responsible For Killing Of Innocent People Is Not A Muslim, And Has Denied To The Words Of Quran Which Say:
"He Who Kills A Man Is Responsible For Killing All Mankind"

"We Are: Unknown Al / Black Worm / DarkShadow TN / Dr.T3rr0r / Gunz_Berry."

The town council is aware of the problem, and the website has now been taken down.
