The controversial  Innocence of Muslims video  – which ridicules the Muslim prophet Mohammed – has sparked a lot of anger among the citizens of many Islamic countries.

Afghanistan has already temporarily blocked YouTube in order to prevent the violent acts that may come in response to the video. Furthermore, YouTube has blocked the offending clip in Egypt and Libya, countries in which things were already getting out of hand.

Now, Bangladesh Grey Hat Hackers (BGHH) are threatening to attack websites from the United States as a form of protest against the insulting video.

“Why Americans made cinema of Rasul prophet Mohammad (sm) in insulting terms?? They have crossed the limit. No mercy for them, Bangladesh Grey Hat Hackers is coming. Be prepared to see our name on your cyber space,” the hackers wrote on their Facebook page.

They haven’t revealed the identities of any targets yet, but we’ll return as soon as more information becomes available.
