<\/p>\nA list appearing to show the full names and addresses of the controversial English Defence League (EDL) has been published online by Anonymous-linked hackers. The list also includes phone numbers of senior members and criminal convictions.<\/p>\n
\n The UK witnessed a rise in Islamophobic attacks following the
\n murder of soldier Lee Rigby, 25, on May 22. He died of multiple
\n stab wounds, an autopsy found on Tuesday. One of the suspects
\n reportedly had links to Muslim extremists.\n <\/p>\n
One thousand protesters joined an EDL march on Monday, with
\n members chanting \u2018Muslim killers off our streets\u2019 as they marched
\n on the UK prime minister\u2019s office.\n <\/p>\n
Further attacks have included attempted arson of a mosque in
\n Grimsby, marches in Newcastle which drew somewhere between 1,500
\n and 2,000 people, and further arrests for violent threats and
\n incitement of hatred against Muslims.\n <\/p>\n
The names and addresses of some 270 members across England were
\n pasted online shortly after the spike in anti-Islamic action.\n <\/p>\n
#AnonymousUK claims responsibility for the list\u2019s publication,
\n stating that they were acting in collaboration with #ZHC
\n (ZCompany Hacking Crew) and #OpEDL. \u201cThey should have expected
\n us,\u201d<\/i> the note states, also ominously instructing the group to
\n \u201cexpect more.\u201d<\/i>\n <\/p>\n
Anonymous released an audio message on Tuesday, uploaded to
\n YouTube prior to the hacking attack, stating that following
\n Rigby\u2019s murder, the group was using it as a justification for
\n heightening their activities.\n <\/p>\n
\u201c[You] have used this as another excuse to further spread your
\n campaign of hate, bigotry, and misinformation,\u201d it said. \u201cUnder
\n the guise of national pride you have instigated crimes against
\n the innocent and incited the subjugation of Muslims.\u201d<\/i>\n <\/p>\n
\u201cWe will not allow your injustices, your lies, and your
\n stupidity, to further radicalize our youth into fearing and
\n despising their fellow man.\u201d<\/i> The note concluded with, \u201cWe
\n are everywhere, you cannot hide, you cannot win.\u201d<\/i>\n<\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n
Some EDL members had apparently anticipated the attack, with the
\n list of names linking to a Facebook screenshot, giving advice
\n such as \u201cchange your passwords daily.\u201d<\/i> The national group
\n page also said that it would be unpublished by Wednesday night.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The list of crimes committed by the listed British EDL members is
\n extensive.\n <\/p>\n
One member set fire to a woman\u2019s hair and racially abused a
\n passer-by after drinking heavily in April 2012. He chanted the
\n name of the English Defence League and yelled: \u201cI am racist
\n and proud of it,\u201d<\/i> according to local paper Huddersfield Daily
\n Examiner.\u00a0\n <\/p>\n
Another member made national news after violently attacking their
\n daughter and her new boyfriend because he was black.\n <\/p>\n
According to the list, one gang of EDL members were arrested in
\n Leeds in June 2011, after throwing a barrage of bottles and rocks
\n at a Rage Against Racism gig, injuring two people, with one
\n having his teeth knocked out.\n <\/p>\n
The dataset also includes one member from the small island of
\n Tonga, in the Pacific Ocean, and the odd member from Spain,
\n Norway and the US.\n<\/p>\n
