The Internet group Anonymous has declared war on Scientology and has begun by attacking the cult’s website with a denial of service attack. Usually content to mess with fanatical or disturbing online groups, Anonymous has said that it believes Scientology to be a threat to mankind and stated that they were doing this for the good of its followers as well as for its own amusement. They have posted a YouTube video and issued a statement.
Maybe Astronomy can declare war on Scientology, that would be awesome!

While I think Scientology is ridiculous, even despicable, I wonder how this proclamation would be viewed if the focus of their ire was, of I dunno, creationists, or evangelicals, or Protestants, or Christians, or any religion?
Illegal activities, regardless of purpose, are still illegal.
