Weird. I saw the Sebadoh site, and stumbled across this article trying to find out how long it had been down.

The Sebadoh page carries a little more text. It’s all in Turkish, except it’s Turkish that’s clearly been typed out by someone without access to a Turkish keyboard. The following:

“Kutlu Davana Onder Hazreti Muhammed”dir.
Tek Siarin Islam, Gayense Sehadettir.
Zafer Yakindir, Cunku Bu Gecici Esarettir.
Kufrun Hesap Yeri Ise Hem Dunya Hem Ahirettir.”

Should read:

“Kutlu Davana Önder Hazreti Muhammed’dir.
Tek Siarın İslam, Gayense Şehadettir.
Zafer Yakındır, Çünkü Bu Geçici Esarettir.
Kufrun Hesap Yeri İse Hem Dünya Hem Ahirettir.”

Which basically means:

“The blessed Prophet Muhammad is happy for the trial.
Islam’s only motto is the Shahada.
Victory is near, because this is a temporary captivity.
The world and the afterlife are both places for accounting for threats.”

That’s an extremely rough gloss as my Turkish is extremely rusty.

So I’d lean towards crediting the “Utah teenagers” theory, because the slogans appear to have been added by a person or persons with absolutely no knowledge of what they say or mean.

Doing a google search on “hacked” and “selam direnise devam” will show the extent of the hacking targets: I can see 3,340 hits so far.
