I have a small amount of sympathy for "Anonymous".
The CoS attack is not simply about religious statements, they have actually gone out of their way to behave, if not criminally, as close to that line as possible without getting caught. Harassment, DDoS, financial fraud, Barratry, allegations of murder, etc. They really, in many ways, have forfeited any reasonable basis to be considered a "good citizen" deserving of freedom of speech. Their establishment as a "Church" is seen by many as a sham to protect their bad behavior from examination and taxation.
All that said, while I can understand the motivation, and agree that the CoS does not deserve some of the more usual deference accorded to religious organizations, that does not make random anonymous script kiddies taking unilateral action an appropriate way to respond to them.
Those script kiddies have already wrongly targeted a dutch school.
As I mentioned to my other in the shower yesterday, you might as well have the Hell's Angel's as your police force.....
