Muslim fanatic Anjem Choudary has been
captured on film claiming the murdered
soldier Lee Rigby will “burn in hellfire”.
He was recorded refusing to condemn the
young soldier’s killers.
He said: “As far as they are concerned, I
believe they were doing what they believed
to be Islamically correct.
“Only Allah can judge them in the hereafter
for what they did in their life.
"In their eyes they are martyrs and what I
say is Allah may accept them into paradise.
“I believe all Muslims will eventually go to
paradise.”
Choudary was reported to have been caught
on camera in his office in east London’s
Walthamstow on Friday.
The extremist also launched an attack on
Armed Forces charity Help For Heroes,
whose hoodie-top Lee Rigby was wearing
at the time of the attack in Woolwich, south
London, last month.
Choudary reportedly said: “Who’s the hero
exactly? The person who’s out in
Afghanistan killing innocent women and
children?
“What kind of world are we living in? The
rest of the world doesn’t think that they’re
heroes.
“I think we need to wake up to the reality.
Hello, he’s not a hero if he’s out in
Afghanistan shooting children is he?”
He added: “Allah said very clearly in the
Koran ‘Don’t feel sorry for the non-Muslims.’
“So as an adult non-Muslim, whether he is
part of the Army or not part of the Army, if
he dies in a state of disbelief then he is
going to go to the hellfire.
“That’s what I believe so I’m not going to
feel sorry for non-Muslims.”
The bearded preacher said he knew Michael
Adebolajo, 28, accused of murdering Lee
along with Michael Adebowale, 22.
He said: “I knew him for a number of years.
Mujahid was a very nice man in fact.”
