The Sûreté du Québec is investigating after a group claiming to have connections with Islamic extremists has hacked the website of the small town of Terrasse-Vaudreuil Thursday. The site was restore by about 7:50 a.m. Friday.

The town, on the northwestern tip of Île Perrot, doesn’t have a municipal arena or a grocery store, but it has somehow attracted the attention of hackers.

The group calls itself Meca Middle East Cyber Army. It posted the following message: “WE ARE MUSLIMS. QURAN IS OUR BOOK. IN ALLAH WE TRUST. FOR ALLAH WE WORK. SCREW YOU Charlie Hebdo. ISLAM IS AND ALWAYS WILL DOMINATE !!! ISLAM IS THE TRUTH !!! THATS WHY ISLAM IS THE FASTEST GROWING RELIGION !!! #OPFRANCE”

The message was signed by: “THE GREATEST – AnaCoNdA – kh.mar.404 – RebelGhost DX – Scream4.0.4 – Silent Killer – Hamooda El Bess- & ALL MUSLIMS.”

The message was discovered by John Jantak, a reporter of the Your Local Journal newspaper, on Thursday about 9 p.m. He informed the town’s mayor, Michel Bourdeau, of the situation, who said the town would look into the problem and try to take back its website.
