It comes after pals said Ali’s mind was turned by videos Choudary himself had published online.

In a blog on a website hosted by US firm GoDaddy, Choudary wrote of Ali: “Who radicalised him?

“It is now evident from his clear testimony it was the British foreign policy in Syria and Iraq.”

Choudary said he believed the media would “paint Ali as a monster”.

MP Nigel Mills said: “It’s disgraceful that this atrocious human being is allowed to freely spout this vile language.

“Choudary’s poison has impacted and influenced people behind some of this country’s worst atrocities in recent years.”

Ali, 25, was given a whole life sentence for murdering dad-of-five Mr Amess at a constituency surgery in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.

GoDaddy was approached for comment.
