London, England (CNN) -- A hit list of British lawmakers who voted for the Iraq war with instructions for meeting them in person was taken down from a website Friday after the British Home Office expressed concern, the office said.
The list, posted Thursday on the U.S.-hosted blog RevolutionMuslim.com, contained a link for buying a knife online and said Muslims should be inspired to "raise the knife of jihad," or holy war, against those who voted for action in Iraq.
A spokesman for the Home Office said Britain encouraged its U.S. counterparts to remove the content from the Internet.
"We should all stand up against extremists. We have raised this with our overseas counterparts to encourage them to remove this content from the website," read a statement from the Home Office on Friday.
"We are determined to tackle extremism and always press for the removal of jihadist material on the Internet. Where sites are hosted abroad, our ability to close them down is limited".
Later, the website disappeared from its hosting site, Google's Blogger. Google would not discuss any action taken or not taken against a specific website, but provided a generic statement about its policies.
