David Amess MP stabbed in Leigh-On-Sea

“You then went on, Anjem Choudary, to give the two specific lectures to which I have referred in late August 2014. In the first, you said amongst other things that ISIS had established a legitimate caliphate, and you spoke of an obligation of every Muslim to obey the caliph who ruled in accordance with shariah, and to fight those who differed from him. Like ISIS, you divided the world into two: Dar al Islam, the land of Islam where shariah is implemented, and the rest of the world, including countries which most people would regard as Muslim countries. You said that every Muslim would want to live under shariah, and you emphasised the need for the caliphate to expand so as to achieve eventual world domination. In the second of the two lectures, a few days later, you said amongst other things that Abu Bakr al Baghdadi was the legitimate caliph and that apostates would face capital punishment. You again spoke of spreading your version of Islam all over the world, and referred happily to the prospect of the flag of Islam flying over 10 Downing Street and the White House. You said that many Muslims were asking why IS were killing people, but instead of answering that question, still less criticising the killing, you simply said it was propaganda against Islam and that the British and the Americans were the ones with blood on their hands. You were asked by a member of your audience whether the beheading of an American journalist was a right thing to do: you replied that it was not for you to say, and expressed the opinion that those who did it were acting in accordance with their view of Islamic jurisprudence. You told your audience that they should not believe the propaganda and must seek verification from trustworthy Muslims.”

The man who murdered Amess is reported to have watched Choudary’s videos, and in any case had sufficient links to terrorists to be detained under the Prevent program. If you are looking for culpability here is a good place to start.
 
The killer has now been charged

“Nick Price, from the Crown Prosecution Service, said: "We will submit to the court that this murder has a terrorist connection, namely that it had both religious and ideological motivations."”
