While Muslim extremists have proven themselves to be very good at blowing themselves up, their lack of focus on education (other than the Koran) has proven them ineffective at hacking. Case in point:

Islamic computer hackers reportedly tried to disrupt the Vatican web site last week, but failed.

In an online forum for militant Muslims, a previously unknown group had announced plans for an assault on the Vatican computer network, which was said to be a form of retribution for Pope Benedict’s recent speech which was seen by many Muslims as an attack on Islam.

Police later confirmed that there had been a concerted effort by hackers to penetrate the Vatican site, but computer-security experts were able to detect and repel the attack.
