(CNN) -- The Web site of Iraq's most influential Shiite cleric was hacked on Friday, with the attackers' messages saying they are Sunnis upset over fatwas, or edicts, issued on the site.
A entity called Group XP placed a video of comedian Bill Maher making fun of Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani and his advice to the Shiite faithful, as well as posting messages on the site.
The hackers said they are upset at the sexual nature of the advice given to faithful allegedly by al-Sistani through a spokesperson. Those who have studied the attack believe that the Maher video is meant to illustrate how such advice promotes mockery of Islam.
The communications said it was hacking this and other sites giving a "bad name" to Sunnis. The messages said Christian sites that insult Islam and sexually oriented sites run by Arab Christians out of Israel were also hacked.

Bill Maher must be proud to be a tool for Sunnis fighting their turf war with Shiites.
Those who have studied the attack believe that the Maher video is meant to.....make their camels puke turds.
So...does this imply we may soon be viewing a video of black hooded jihadists using a butcher knife to cut off kidnapped Maher’s head?
The last thing we need is for Maher to be turned into a martyr.
