The ringleader of the London Bridge terror attack was filmed telling a former Muslim he should 'be killed' for leaving the religion less than a year before the bloody massacre.
Khuram Butt was wearing a Superman hoodie and smiled as he threatened another man in Hyde Park corner, the BBC reports.
The altercation is believed to have happened in August last year, nine months before eight people were murdered in the Saturday night attack on London Bridge.
The man who filmed Butt has now said he wishes he had gone to police with the footage.  The witness, from north west London, told the BBC: 'He came up and said "I want top have a discussion". 
'He turned suddenly and got personal and started threatening that I'm going to kill you.
'He was just threatening and very aggressive. I was scared, he said "if you do not honour my religion you should be killed".

Heroic Grenfell firefighters have said they were willing to die in the inferno as they desperately struggled to rescue everyone inside.
They relived their experiences of tackling the horrific fire in a new ITV documentary series exploring the challenges the brigade face every day.
A London Fire Brigade commander said as they battled flames they had 'no intention' of coming out until they had rescued everyone they could, despite their fear the burning building was on the verge of collapse. Commander Welch was one of the first senior officers to arrive at the scene and he described how the flames kept raging as more and more firefighers arrived.
He added: 'Initially they had six machines. Then they asked for eight, and then 10, and then 15, 20 and 25.'
Commander Welch said it very quickly became clear that they needed to declare a major incident .
Commander Pat Goulbourne, who was also at the scene, added that he knew Grenfell Tower and had be there before, reports the Mirror.
He said: 'I just knew we had the job of our lives on the go because already I could see fire from the lower floors and I could not believe I was looking at fire to the top floor. 'I've never seen anything like that. The fire was changing, it was moving rapidly. You could hear people screaming for help. There were people making signals for help. It was dreadful.' 
Commander Goulbourne described 'men, women and children' coming out of the building 'fully sooted'.
The men worked from a bridgehead post two floors below where the fire started on the fourth floor.
Commander Goulbourne said it was the busiest bridgehead he had ever seen.
The June 14 fire, which claimed at least 80 lives, is featured in the ITV series: Inside London Fire Brigade. TV crews followed the London Fire Brigade for 12 months, showing the diverse challenges they face.  
Commander Welch described the logistical problems the firefighters faced when they arrived at the 24-storey building in the early hours of the morning.
'We had our hoses going up the staircase, he said. 'We had people trying to get out coming down the staircase.
'We've got firefighters going up the staircase and the staircase was filling with smoke.
'The priority was really to try to reach the flats we knew had people in. The issue we had was the intensity of the fire'. 
A High Court judge has given Charlie Gard's parents until midday tomorrow to reach an agreement with Great Ormond Street Hospital on arrangements for the end of his life.
Mr Justice Francis said the 11-month-old will be transferred to a hospice where his ventilation tube will be removed if doctors and his parents fail to reach a compromise about how he should be cared for in his final moments.
Charlie's parents Connie Yates and Chris Gard had said it was their final wish to take him home to 'slip away' in his cot before his first birthday.
Both his parents and doctors have now conceded that he should move to a hospice - but continue to disagree over the detail of care plans.
Miss Yates and Mr Gard wanted to spend a week at a hospice with Charlie before he died.
But Great Ormond Street bosses said they were not satisfied that a properly-qualified specialist would be in control under the parents' plan, and said life-support treatment should end shortly after Charlie arrived at a hospice.
A family friend said the pair, 'will be devastated they have not been granted their final wishes as parents.'  
Charlie is only expected to spend a few hours in a hospice because they are not licensed to be able to look after him for more than a few hours once the ventilator is taken off.

A shopkeeper has told how two teenagers raced into his East London off licence and screamed 'We've got acid on us!' as their skin was 'peeling off'. 
The man, who has asked not to be named, recalled the terrifying incident where two men were targeted with a 'noxious substance', which a police officer described as 'bleach', in Roman Road, Bethnal Green, at around 7pm this evening.
The attack comes after five people were left injured after having acid thrown in their faces in North and East London on July 13. Another person was injured in connection with the incident. The shopkeeper told the Mail Online: 'They were two Bengali boys who came into the shop. They had acid on their face and they were burning - their skin was peeling off.  'The ambulance caller was asking a lot of questions about it but what do I do - deal with the call or the water?
'I've never seen anything like this before. It's really scary.
'I think the boys had been attacked elsewhere and then got in their car and drove here to get water. Their car was outside.
'Their face and their legs were all burnt. One of them was saying: "Put the water in my jeans". 
Witnesses said a blue tarpaulin has been erected to shield the victims from the public.
Four fire engines, police and paramedics are at the scene, which was cordoned off. 
Footage posted online by Mr Lennon shows a topless man pouring water on to his face as he is surrounded by five paramedics as a policeman watches on.
Another man is seen sitting on the pavement as he has his blood pressure taken by the medics. Please click, comment, sibscribe to our blog 
An Indian Muslim make up artist was dragged from the shower and Tasered before being raped and murdered in an alleged 'honour killing' because she fell in love with an Arab Muslim, a court has heard.
Celine Dookhran, 19, was found dead inside a £1.5million South London house after her friend managed to escape despite having her throat slit in the same attack. 
The court was told Miss Dookham had been in a relationship with an Arab Muslim and her family members did not approve because they were Indian Muslims. 
The survivor, who is in her twenties, claims she heard her friend scream as she was dragged from the shower and stunned with a Taser before she herself was taken from her bed. 
The victims were bound with duct tape and rope and had socks shoved into their mouths before being rolled up into dust sheets and thrown into a vehicle by two men in balaclavas.
They were driven five miles to a house under renovation before Miss Dookhran was raped and murdered – but the second woman fled.
Mujahid Arshid, 33, appeared before magistrates in Wimbledon yesterday charged with the murder, rape, and kidnap of Miss Dookhran and the attempted murder, rape and kidnap of the second woman. Vincent Tappu, 28, was charged with the kidnap of both.                                                                                                                              Smileband want to address a word of support to women that have suffered the torment of rape, it's a very disturbing element to a women's life, there are key developing support organisations that can help women with this cause of a nightmare, our thoughts go out to the family of miss Dookran, we wish to exceed the support further in the future by aiding support in some sort of way.

The people who find themselves homeless, Lee Davies, a 24-year-old from Plymouth who now sleeps rough in London, was kicked out of his home due to the end of an assured-shorthold tenancy. The Most recent government data shows that a third of all households in England made homeless, 40% in London, were due to a landlord ending a tenancy – up from 11% of all cases in 2009. With the rise of private renting, the precarity of the tenure has been reflected in the cases councils see in their homelessness applications.                                When Davies approached his local authority for help finding accommodation, he found little sympathy: on one occasion, he was informed that as a single young man he was low priority; on another advised to rent another property, despite the fact he had no money for a deposit; and on a third visit, told he was “intentionally homeless” because he could have found somewhere else to live after his landlord had given him notice. Finally, he gave up, relying on friends’ sofas – but eventually his friends’ patience ran out.                                                      At that point, he found a novel way of finding places to sleep. “If I went on Grindr, I could meet men who had their own flats and offer to spend the night with them. Then I could have a shower, charge my phone, and go out,” he tells me. “I didn’t like some of the guys, but the alternative was sleeping in shop doorways, so it was all about weighing up the pros and cons.”
But then Davies’s phone was stolen and this lifeline was cut off. Now he has no way to contact friends and family, and sleeps rough in central London. “At least when I could still get online, I could pretend this was temporary and that everything was fine; but now no one knows where I am, and if they wanted to find me, they couldn’t.” He has bruises on his neck, from a few nights ago when he slept in a doorway near a cashpoint and a drunk man in a suit kicked him repeatedly while swearing at him.
Davies’s situation is not unique, and is becoming increasingly common. The government’s Most recent figures from autumn 2015, estimate that there are 3,569 rough sleepers on any one night in England – more than double the number in autumn 2010, when it was 1,768. And sources told the Observer this month that This year counts, which has only just finished, is likely to be higher again.                                                                                                        
In cities around the country, homelessness has increased visibly, with many more people on the streets. The highest rates of rough sleeping are in Westminster, Bristol and Brighton and Hove, the government figures suggest. London has the Highest rate of street homelessness and Adam Williams, office manager at a support organisation Christian homelessness charity in Manchester, says the number of people requesting their services has never been higher than this year. “People are visibly affected when they visit London at the moment, especially if they haven’t been here for a few years. However, my fear is that people will become desensitised to the situation [so many people sleeping rough] and that within a year it will just become a normal state of affairs in most people’s eyes. Smileband pushes people to give a pound to these organisation as they bring change to a person who need help living ruff in the uk. Story like this makes us understand how we have things so much different and these people can have that change as well, please bring back human rights to people living in the uk.

U.K. Police force are to be provided with acid response kits to tackle the escalating scourge of violence in which corrosive liquids are used as weapons across the country.
Britain's largest police force are to roll out new measures as part of a targeted operation which includes distributing 1,000 acid relief kits to London's police force today.
 Police said that they are issuing guidelines for dealing with corrosive liquids in accordance with national police policy.
A recent chemical scare in Solihull, spread the 'face melter' fear of corrosive substances beyond London's borders when a man shouted 'I've got acid' before squirting what is now thought to be cleaning fluid in the face of a drinker outside a pub last week.
And a major operation has been launched in London to combat the rise in acid attacks, which have claimed multiple victims in the capital in recent months.
Five litre bottles of water are now to be stocked in emergency patrol cars across the the capital to provide vital and immediate treatment on the scene. Smileband does not agree with the violence that has been growing in the heart of cities around the uk.            We hope to aid a right strategy to build secure jobs in the uk based around support for people that follow us.
