That YouTube jihadi who threatened British councillor Alan Craig has been arrested.

But his account at YouTube is still active.

A man who placed an “obituary” on YouTube of one of the leading opponents of plans to build Europe’s biggest mosque near the London Olympics site has been arrested by police.

The video, “In memory of Councillor Alan Craig”, features the Leader of the Christian Peoples Alliance party, his wife and two daughters. The two-minute video, which has now be taken down, was added by a man calling himself “abdullah1425” and was set to the strains of Elvis Presley’s song Always On My Mind and opened with its title and the words ‘To God we will all return’.

It featured a boxing scene with an Asian punching an opponent to the ground before ending with the message: “The mosque will be built in time for the 2012 Olympic Games.”

When the video was uploaded to Youtube, there was a web link from the Abbey Mills mega-mosque website to abdullah1425’s YouTube mini website, where he identifies himself as Muhammad, 23, from Stevenage, Herts. It also had links to material relating to Tablighi Jamaat.
