One of the British citizens suspected of executing a serving soldier in the Woolwich terror attack was brought up as a Christian but became 'obsessed' with Islam as a schoolboy, it emerged today.
A man identified as Michael Adebolajo, 28, was filmed yesterday drenched in blood, wielding a meat cleaver and yelling 'We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you.'
The British citizen of Nigerian descent was born in Lambeth, South London, in 1985, and then moved to Romford, East London.In 2003 he converted to Islam and began calling himself Mujahid, which means a Muslim who takes part in jihadist actions
In another twist, the two men were known to security services. David Cameron revealed that authorities were looking into what was already known about the Drummer Lee Rigby's killers but it is not thought they were an immediate threat.
One of the men, believed to be Michael Adebolajo, is believed to have been arrested after he went to Somalia to join banned Islamist group al Ahabaab.
Adebolajo is said to have joined the banned Islamist organisation Al Muhajiroun, which promotes Sharia law, and other controversial groups banned under the Terrorism Act.
I find it interesting though that his descent is remembered or mentioned in the face of an evil act. My guts tell me that it has been done to further demonise Nigeria. This guy is British and as far as we have been told, no links to Nigeria whatsoever.
When the British of African descent do good things, their roots are not talked about.
