EXTREMIST books were being sold two miles from where the Westminster terror attacker lived, it has been revealed.

Literature advocating the death penalty for adulterers and preaching against gay people is said to have been available in a shop near to Khalid Masood's home in Birmingham, the Daily Star reports.

One book - Bringing Up Children in Islam - urges parents to keep the "spirit of Jihad" alive, and another - Major Sins - is said to support the killing of gay people.

Bringing Up Children in Islam also reportedly criticises cinemas and theatre and warns of a Jewish conspiracy to take over the world.

Masood, who drove through a crowd of pedestrians in central London on March 22, before rampaging through gates into parliament and attacking police officers, lived close to the shop where the books are said to have been sold.

The 52-year-old died after being shot by officers after he had injured dozens of people and killed four.

Cops swarmed on his house in Hagley Road, Birmingham, and found maps and photos of Westminster.

Yesterday the Star reported the Madina Book Centre said Bringing Up Children in Islam was available to buy two weeks ago.

The book cost £5 and has since sold out. They had no more on the shelves.

A shop worker said: "We had it but I think it has now sold out. You will have to speak to my boss and he is not here."

Kent-born Masood was identified as the knifeman responsible for carrying out the Westminster terror attack on Wednesday, March 21, before he was shot dead during his murderous rampage.

Police said the individual was inspired by “Islamic terrorism” before he mowed down crowds on Westminster Bridge and stabbed policeman Keith Palmer to death outside Parliament.

Huge numbers of the Muslim community joined police, victims and family members on Westminster Bridge on March 29 in a message of love against hate following the attack.

And Muslims United for London began a fundraising campaign to support the victims of the attack which raised £3,000 in just one hour, and a total of £29,116 as of April 2.

The Westminster terrorist was previously known to security services and had once been investigated by MI5 over violent extremism.

Prime Minister Theresa May had described the attacker as a “peripheral” figure who had “not been part of the current intelligence picture” before the terror attack unfolded in London.

Masood was a married dad-of-three and a former English teacher who had been living in Birmingham.

Cops raided homes in a suburb of Birmingham following the attack as they sought to piece together more information on the rampage.

A large cordon blocked off an area in Hagley Road in the Edgbaston area in the early hours of the next morning - it was then revealed Masood had lived in a home on the same road.

Last week it was revealed the first “jihadi jail”, designed to stop the radicalisation of inmates like the Westminster killer, is to open.

The 52-year-old is said to have converted to Islam while locked up for a knife attack, going on to kill four people last month.
