One of the men accused of murdering Lee Rigby has said in court for the first time that he killed the fusilier, telling the jury that he was “obeying the command of Allah”.
Michael Adebolajo described himself as a “soldier of Allah” and said he killed Rigby on 22 May outside Woolwich military barracks in south London.
Asked by prosecutor Richard Whittam QC whether he planned to kill Rigby on that date, Adebolajo answered: “Yes.”
Giving evidence from the witness box of the Old Bailey, Adebolajo said: “I am a soldier of Allah and as I’ve explained part of fighting jihad sometimes it tells killing the enemy soldier.”
He added: “As I said we planned a military attack which obviously involved – sadly, it’s not something enjoyable – the death of a soldier.”
When asked whether the killing was political, he told the jury: “Jihad by its very nature is political.”
Giving evidence from a witness box in front of the soldier’s family, Adebolajo told the jury he was “a soldier of Allah” and that he had had “no choice” in attacking Rigby outside Woolwich barracks in May this year.
“Allah commands that I fight those militaries that attack the Muslims,” he said. “I don’t feel that I have any choice. I obey Allah and I commit my affairs into his hands. This is all I can do.”
Amid strict security, Adebolajo, wearing a black zipped top, was handcuffed when being taken to the witness box, and surrounded by five security guards while giving evidence, while plainclothes police officers wearing wires sat elsewhere in the court.
His co-accused, Michael Adebowale, watched from the dock, also surrounded by prison guards. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Pls thus guy should be examine in a psychiatric hospital,no Allah ever ordered the killing of non Muslim, why is there verses that calls for just treatment of non Muslim
ReplyDeleteAllah did not ask any Moslem to judge anybody! Judgment is that of Allah!
ReplyDeleteFather, forgive him for he know not what he doeth. May the Lord Jesus have mercy on you and grant you a repentant heart. For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ), that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.Mich, Jesus loves you. You still have the opportunity to repent and believe the gospel.
ReplyDeleteAllah didn't ask any muslim to kill non muslims or anyone for that matter,I'm a muslim myself and I can say that you have been brainwashed,the quran and the prophet SAW preaches peaceful co existence with our fellow human beings,you guys should stop giving muslims and islam a bad image,it is far more rewarding in the sight of Allah to help a non muslim brother than to kill him.
ReplyDeleteMuslims who commit acts of violence and terror in the name of God, can find ample justification for their actions, based on the teachings of the Qur'an and the sayings and examples from prophet Muhammad himself!
DeleteThe following are only some of the verses in the Qur'an that can and have been used in the history of Islam in support of violence in the name of God and the glories of martyrdom in a holy war.
9:5 "... fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war) ..."
9:14 "Fight them, and God will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame ..."
9:29 "Fight those who believe not in God nor the Last Day nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by God and his apostle nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth (even if they are) of the people of the Book, until they pay the Jizya [religious tax] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."
47:4 "Therefore, when ye meet the unbelievers, smite at their necks, at length when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them) ... but if it had been God's will, he could certainly have exacted retribution from them (himself), but (he lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the way of God, he will never let their deeds be lost."
61:4 "Truly God loves those who fight in His cause in battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure."
2:190-193 "Fight in the cause of God those who fight you ... And slay them wherever ye catch them ... And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression and there prevail justice and faith in God ..."
4:101 "... For the Unbelievers are unto you open enemies."
5:54 "O ye who believe. Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors. They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily God guideth not a people unjust."
Hmmmmmm the God of violence. I wonder what Jesus said. When you go to preach and you are not welcome clean up your sheos and leave. That is peace. You or anybody don't have the power to fight for the living God. He said the battle is mined
DeleteThat is the true colour of islam, all those denying it are just trying to save face but deep from within them they know very well allah has asked all muslims to fight & kill those who do not believe in their religion. That is what boko haram is doing, so also alqaeda, alshabab, al'ansaru and all other jihad groups. They are carrying out an assignment clearly spelt for them in the quran to do. But one thing I know is that sees everything and He will judge all the people. If not for God they would have wipe all non-muslims from plces like Africa and Middle East. I wish one day God will open people's (Christians) eyes to see their jihad plans just for Nigeria only, then people will appreciate God for still being alive. I ask these terrorists to repent now 'cos Jesus still love them, if they wait till death catch up with them in that their blood shedding religion, they will cry with gnawing of teeth forever. JESUS SAVES.
ReplyDeleteIf someone shows you who they are, believe them!!
ReplyDeleteMany people have said that islam is not a religion of peace, they even quoted the quran, now even muslims are admitting that islam is not a religion of peace (this guy quoted surah 9 when he first made his video). But somehow, some people decide to ignore all this evidence and come to the conclusion that Islam is a religion of peace.
Please, people, if you still want to believe that despite the evidence, then, you should know, I own the CBN and I am selling it for N2 million only. Ignore whatever evidence you find to the contrary and send the money via email money transfer to 9jaguy@ihavecaughtanotheridiot.com. Thanks. :-)
I was muslim before and i plan to join the jihad bokoharam if am still a muslim but thanks to Jesus christ who shew me the truth and saved me. I am now baptised in the holy ghost and preach. My muslim name is Abubakar Abdullahi, my father name is Abubakar shuibu and my mom Rabi. Muslim brothers, give ur life to Jesus.
ReplyDeleteUr comment only shows u were never a muslim in the first place. If truly u were, u won't plan to join Boko haram. True muslims don't kill.
DeleteYou have found peace my dear brother. I was a muslim too
DeleteMuslim, this can never be covered anymore nor denied. These are enlightened young men probably in University, will you tell me they do not understand the koran? I pity our yoruba neighbors in Nigeria who all of a sudden started allowing blood demon of islam to start catching up with their children and wards in the recent times. Before this kind thing could only be heard of Northern muslims.
ReplyDeleteSorry, who is this allah all these pricks keep shouting about?
ReplyDeleteDJ.
hmmmm this is serious
ReplyDelete@ anon 4.51am stop saying what you don't know,where was it written in the quran that non muslims should be killed,the revelation came to the prophet SAW when it was a taboo to call to prayer in mecca as they were idol worshippers and muslims were enjoined to defend themselves and the religion of God by fighting back,do we still have such scenario now?I'm sorry to say this as I do not wish to speak ill of any religion,some many christians do not know who jesus christ was,I have met a xtian who told me jesus is God,every muslim belief jesus was a servant of God that was sent to humanity,we belief all his miracles and that he's coming back cos it was written in the quran that jesus christ the son of mary will be the sign of the last hour.
ReplyDeleteIt's really fantastic that you knew all these fact about our Lord Jesus Christ, and that He's the only sign of the Last Hour. Why not give you life to Him as your Lord and Saviour? One part you missed is that He's not only the sign of the Last hour but He's also the Judge of that hour for as many that refused to accept Him as the way to the Father. This minute you know, but the next could actually be your own Last Hour after which you will stand before the WHOM you refused to accept His Sonship..
DeleteMy brother I quetion the sonship of Jesus christ until the qur'an proof to me that he is truthly the son of God. Kalmatulah
DeleteMuslims think... if Jesus is the sign of the last hour by your Koran why do you hate him and his followers so much. Why would your Allah ask you to kill people who believe in Him?....and then come get 70 virgins? Whem you die?. By the way what will girls who die in ur so called jihaf get in ur.warped concept of heaven... 70 virgin men?.
DeleteThat Allah must be high on something. He cant be there crossing legs looking for who will go and kill for him

Well Allah may not have asked them to kill non Muslims as claimed by some Muslims but one thing I know is that whenever jihadist carries out any havoc anywhere in the world all Muslims celebrate them and support them morally and financially. Come to the northern Nigeria, who do people see and accepts as their heroes but bin Laden, Abubakar shekku etc
ReplyDeleteWeda u like it or not, Islam remain d fastest growing religion on earth bcos is d only true religion God. Am sure d terrorist is a Xtian claiming 2 b a muslim in order 2 blackmail Islam.
ReplyDeleteAsk urself i ur quiet moments...is Isalm a force for good in the world today or a force for evil?. Check out where there is bloodshed and violence anywhere you will find muslims behind it.even in muslim contries... iraq, egypt, pakistan...afghanistan... muslims killing themselves with abandon. Every thing that brings evil is of the devil... a word is enough but not to those who will perish.
DeleteAllah the creator of prophet isah A.S, son of marry and the creator of the world ADAM _EVE so respect the name ALLAH
ReplyDeleteHow can a Muslim bearing MICHAEL ADEBOLAJO??? Is he a Chris-Islam??
ReplyDeleteHow can a Muslim bearing Christian name (Michael) fight for Allah in Jihad?
ReplyDeleteENJOY THE LETHAL INJECTION, BETTER STILL ALLAH GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH TO ENDURE THE ELECTRIC CHAIR, ALLOW YOUR GOD TO FIGHT FOR YOU, I MEAN WHY SHLD I WORSHIP SOMETHING I HAVE TO FIGHT FOR? HAHAHAHAHAHA. ENJOY YOUR VIRGINS TOO, IF YOU DIDNT GET ANY HERE, YOU AINT GETTING NUFFIN IN HELL.
ReplyDeleteThe sad fact is that most of these musli.s are totally ignorant of the koran... they donr read it... they only depend on the vomits from there illiterate imams. No sane person who redas that book that will not see the contradictions and the hate and anger of the writer. He even contradicts himself by reversing his earlier revelations. Tje koran is the only revelation that is not corroborated or confirmed by any other way.pls dont be deceived. No matter how many people choose to believe a lie... it cannot become truth...And you shall kmow the truth and the truth shall set you free.
