An Islamic extremist was described by a senior MP as a “terrorist” yesterday after he was filmed calling for the beheading of British Muslim soldiers.
The footage of Abu Izzadeen, speaking at a London mosque, came to light days after police foiled an alleged plot to kidnap and behead a Muslim in the British Army.
Izzadeen, 30, calls the Government “crusaders who come to kill and rape Muslims’ and says that any Muslim who joins the Army should have his head “removed”.
The video, recorded in 2004, was discovered on a passwordprotected extremist website.
It has been passed to police, who will assess whether Izzadeen’s comments have broken the law.
Tory homeland security spokesman Patrick Mercer demanded Home Office action to stop Izzadeen - who once called the 7/7 suicide bombers “praiseworthy” - spreading more messages of hate.
“This sort of thing clearly incites people to carry out the sort of acts for which people have been arrested in recent days,” Mr Mercer said. “By inciting this sort of thing Abu Izzadeen is clearly acting as a terrorist.”

Izzadeen was born Trevor Brooks and raised as a Christian by his Jamaican-born parents.
At 17 he converted to Islam, discovered the preachings of “Tottenham Ayatollah” Omar Bakri Mohammed, and made it his mission to propagate Bakri’s poisonous anti-Western views.
In 2001 his name was raised in Parliament after he spoke out in support of the 9/11 attacks.
The former electrician, who lives on benefits in Leyton, East London, also shouted abuse at John Reid last year at the Home Secretary’s first public meetings with Muslims after taking up the post.
