Bile-filled lectures by dangerous extremist Anjem Choudary about 'rejecting MPs' can still be found online within 60 seconds using Google despite the murder of Sir David Amess by an alleged Islamist terrorist, it was revealed today.
Choudary, whose sermons are thought to have motivated up to 110 people to turn to terrorism before finally being jailed in 2016, has recently had all his 20 bail conditions removed including a ban on public speaking and talking to the media.
And today it emerged around 40 hours of his addresses have been available on California-based archive uploaded by supporters including one called sword4Allah.
In one of his addresses he calls on his followers to 'reject all of the MPs' in a film and in another he urges followers to fight to 'destabilise Britain' and reject its Parliament in films available even after Sir David was stabbed to death by a suspected Islamist terrorist. New York's Counter Extremism Project charity says it has found 143 entities - 110 individuals and 33 organisations linked to terrorism - with connections to Choudary.
Choudary today did admit that old videos could likely be found by others who have posted them on the web. But he says he is 'very confident' there was 'nothing illegal' in them.
The extremist imam, who called the 9/11 hijackers 'magnificent martyrs' and radicalised the killers of soldier Lee Rigby, has been banned by Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp for violating their hate-speech rules. But in August it was reported the hate preacher was secretly posting vile messages to his followers on an encrypted smartphone app favoured by Islamic State terrorists. He also joined LinkedIn recently but was thrown off.
Considered one of the most influential and dangerous radicalisers in the UK, Choudary, 54, was finally jailed in 2016 for inviting support for ISIS. He was freed on licence from Belmarsh high-security prison in south-east London in 2018, halfway through a five-and-a-half year sentence. He was subject to more than 20 bail conditions at the time including a ban on public speaking and talking to the media, which all expired in July.
Around 40 hours of Choudary's speeches and lectures still remain online despite his links to 100+ terrorists inspired by his bile
Anjem Choudary has been at the centre of radical Islamic organisations for many years and accused of inspiring many of Britain's most notorious terrorists
Anjem Choudary has denied 'radicalising' the suspect arrested on suspicion of murdering Conservative MP David Amess, Ali Harbi Ali, 25,
Choudary told his Telegram followers that Britain is a 'police state' and preached that Muslims are having their freedoms taken away 'under the guise of counter-terrorism'.
Yesterday Choudary denied accounts he radicalised Ali Harbi Ali, 25, branding them 'spurious, non-verifiable chats' and said it was 'questionable' how he could have radicalised Ali as he was unable to upload videos to YouTube between 2015 and July 2021 after being charged with supporting ISIS.
He said: 'Even before any official statement by the police, they have apparently already decided that he was radicalised by me based on some spurious, non-verifiable chats with old school friends of Ali Harbi Ali years ago and mysterious YouTube clips of me.
'In recent years, I have personally been unable to access the internet or deliver any lectures, let alone produce content on YouTube, from July 2015 when I was charged with supporting ISIS and July 2021 when my internet access and public speaking restrictions were finally lifted after release from prison in October 2018.
'Although I have delivered many talks and lectures over the years, there is currently no significant material to be found anywhere online due to its removal by social media companies at the behest of the UK authorities and others.
'It is therefore questionable as to how Ali Harbi Ali could have been 'radicalised' by YouTube clips of me.'
On Sunday, Choudary was condemned for suggesting Sir David may have been killed for being 'pro-Israel'.
The extremist said the 69-year-old father of five - who was ambushed at his Friday meeting with the public and stabbed 17 times in a frenzied attack - could also have been killed for being a member of the Tory Party, which has been in power for over a decade, during which time Britain has conducted military operations in Muslim countries.
It is understood that investigators have found nothing to suggest that Ali was a fan of Choudary or associated with his banned terror group Al-Muhajiroun.
But detectives are still poring over his phone and computer records to see whether there are any links.
Choudary made the callous comments a day after the MP for Southend West was killed, leaving the nation reeling in shock and grief.
Speaking from his council home in Ilford, East London, the 54-year-old said: 'I am not sure about this particular MP's views. The rumours are that he is pro-Israel, and he is part of the Conservative Party and they have been in power a long time, especially during the campaigns in Muslim countries such as Iraq and Syria and Afghanistan.'
When asked how Mr Amess's 'pro-Israel' stance would make him a target, Choudary replied: 'Many people do [believe] that it is a terrorist state, and who would possibly be a friend of Israel after you see the carnage that they carried out against Muslims in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and continue to do with the appropriation of properties?'
But Choudary, a trained lawyer, was quick to point out that he does not condone the killing of anyone, let alone an MP, in Britain.
He said: 'No one in their right and rational mind would support such a state [Israel].
'Obviously that does not give someone justification for someone to kill someone. I believe there is a covenant of security in this country, where the lives and wealth of people with whom we Muslims live are protected in return for our lives and wealth.'
Sir David, 69, was not known for taking a hardline pro-Israeli stance, but he had been an honorary secretary of the Conservative Friends of Israel since 1998 and was often described as supportive of Britain's Jewish community.

Imams and Muslim leaders in Southend said he was extremely friendly to them, and once told officials at the town's Southend Mosque he even wanted to hold surgeries in their premises after Covid-19 restrictions eased.
Hate preacher Anjem Choudary was at the heart of an international network of extremist groups, with his Al-Muhajiroun associates being linked to at least 15 major terrorist plots.
Experts have also estimated that he radicalised 300 jihadists fighting for ISIS in Syria.
Among the most-high profile were Siddatha Dhar (pictured together) - branded the 'new Jihadi John' - and the murderers of soldier Lee Rigby, Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale.
Both Adebolajo and Adebowale were linked to the group. Adebowale went to a demonstration outside the US embassy in London in September 2012 that was attended by former members, and Adebolajo was pictured feet from Choudary at a protest in 2007.
Dhar was arrested with Choudary and Mizanur Rahman on September 25 2014 but he skipped bail and took his pregnant wife and four young children to Syria where he posed for pictures with a newborn in one hand and an assault rifle in the other.
Choudary's former bodyguard, Mohammed Reza Haque, is also suspected of executing prisoners in an ISIS video.
Another associate, Abdul Waheed Majeed, 41, became the first British suicide bomber in Syria driving an armoured dumper truck laden with explosives into the gates of Aleppo prison in January 2014.
Al-Muhajiroun was banned in the UK in 2010, and a study suggested in the preceding 12 years, 18 per cent of Islamic extremists convicted of terror offences in the UK had current or former links with it.
In May this year, delivery driver Junead Khan, 25, from Luton, was jailed for life for plotting to murder an American serviceman near a base in East Anglia, inspired by the horrifying killing of Fusilier Rigby.
He and his uncle, Shazib Khan, were both found guilty of preparing to go to Syria to join Islamic State. The court heard that they had both been radicalised by al-Muhajiroun.
Brusthom Ziamani, 20, was jailed for 22 years in March 2015 for plotting to behead a British soldier inspired by the murder of Fusilier Rigby.
He had been kicked out of home in Camberwell, south east London, and initially turned to his local mosque for support before he fell in with al-Muhajiroun supporters who gave him money, clothes and a place to stay.
In a separate case two months later, Kazi Islam, 20, was jailed for eight years for trying to groom a man with learning difficulties to carry out a Lee Rigby copycat killing. Islam tried to persuade Harry Thomas, 19, to buy the ingredients for a pipe bomb and to attack one or more soldiers with a kitchen knife or meat cleaver.
The practising Muslim said he first became interested in issues surrounding Afghanistan and Iraq because he wanted to find out why Fusilier Rigby had been attacked outside his barracks in Woolwich, south east London, in May 2013.
He attended meetings and
