(BBC) A man posted an image of a terrorism victim’s severed head on Twitter while encouraging others to decapitate anyone who insulted Islam, a trial has heard.
Ajmal Shahpal is alleged to have praised the killer of a French teacher for being “as brave as a lion.”
He is also said to have called for anyone who insults Islam to “be killed immediately.”
The 41-year-old, of Birkin Avenue in Radford, Nottingham, is on trial at Birmingham Crown Court.
He denies two counts of encouraging others to commit, prepare, or instigate acts of terrorism and two alternative charges of the same offence being reckless as to whether such acts would be encouraged.
