Do they have any teeth? Like I know they are sweet hackers--but do they have physical muscle?

Depending on which branch of the 4chan tree they fell off of, Anonymous can be virulently racist -- or equally virulently fuck you-ist. (I, personally, have always worshiped in the Church of Fuck You. Hell, I tithe.)

Dunno who these peeps are, and wouldn't be surprised if they were from the White Power-anti-Islamist wing, but hey, you can always hope.

Yeah, you're way off.

Past targets include Visa, MasterCard, and Sony. They also support Snowden and the Ferguson protests.

Heat, I hesitate to disagree with you on anything tech/computer-related, but here, you're flat out wrong.  All those targets are Anonymous targets, true:  that's the second wing I was referring to.  

Unfortunately, there is also a wing that I (and many others) think of as, well, virulently racist.  Depends on the wing.  Which...was my point.  

I'll go diving into the Interwebz if you'd like -- don't remember where it was I was reading about them -- but it is in one sense ironic that Anonymous is threatening to take on Al Qaeda.  They are mirror images of each other, with each so de-centralized that about anybody with a Guy Fawkes mask can claim to be Anonymous.  

Oh, fuck, /  -- Jimmy Howard is being carted off on a stretcher.
