(Telegraph)-
A radical website has praised the stabbing of the MP Stephen Timms and published a list of other MPs who voted for the war in Iraq, along with details of where to buy a knife.
The website, Revolution Muslim, is hosted in Bellevue, Washington, and includes a disclaimer invoking the first amendment of the US constitution, protecting free speech.
In a statement published this week the website praised Roshonara Choudhry, who tried to stab Mr Timms to death during a constituency surgery in Beckton, East London.
Choudhry, 21, who was jailed for life on Wednesday, is thought to have radicalised herself over the internet.
She told police she had visited the Revolution Muslim website and watched videos on Youtube by Anwar al-Awlaki, one of the leaders of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsular.
“We ask Allah for her action to inspire Muslims to raise the knife of jihad against those who voted for the countless rapes, murders, pillages, and torture of Muslim civilians as a direct consequence of their vote.”
The statement added: “If you want to track an MP, you can find out their personal website after typing their name in this website.
“In their personal website, you can usually find the time and location of their surgeries where you can encounter them in person.”
The site then lists the 139 Conservative MPs that voted for the war and the 244 Labour MPs.
Accompanying the statement is a prayer in Arabic to “destroy your enemy and the enemies of Islam” naming Mr Timms and the judge in the case, Jeremy Cooke.
A link on the website takes the reader to the site of Tesco Direct for a £15 kitchen knife, similar to that used by Choudhry.
There are also 29 religious statements encouraging holy war, including one that said: “When you meet those who disbelieve, smite at their necks till you have killed and wounded many of them then take them as captives.”
Another link on the website provide access to the Book of Jihad, read by Ibn Nuhaas, read by Choudhry four days before her attack and hosted on a site containing speeches by Awlaki.
All kidding aside, I do not adhere to such devote chrisitan beliefs as the Amish but I do admire many aspects of their devotion to belief and especially their devotion to community. There is something to be learned here IMO and as an old woodworker, this sect of people are highly admired for their craftsmanship and craft.
