Muslim Web Site Publishes Kill List

An extremist Muslim website has published a "kill list" of hundreds of British members of parliament who voted for the war in Iraq. The site, Revolutionmuslim.com, urges readers to follow the example of a young "holy warrior" Muslim woman who stabbed former British Labor Minister Stephen Timms and was sentenced this week to life in prison for attempted murder. “We ask Allah for her action to inspire Muslims to raise the knife of Jihad against those who voted for the countless rapes, murders, pillages, and torture of Muslim civilians as a direct consequence" of the politicians' vote, says the message.

The site links to a place where readers can buy a kitchen knife like the one used by Roshonara Choudhry on Timms, and also offers instructions on how to track a politician's activities, the Telegraph reports. Revolutionmuslim.com is hosted in the US; the White House is being pressured by the British government to take action against such sites. "These sites are extremely dangerous, and this one must be taken down immediately," said the former chairman of Britain's homeland security.
