LONDON—A U.K. jury found Anjem Choudary, a prominent radical Islamic preacher, guilty of inviting support for Islamic State, underscoring efforts by authorities to stem the spread of violent extremism.

Authorities accused Mr. Choudary, a trained lawyer, of praising the extremist group in a series of online comments.

Mr. Choudary, 49 years old, was found guilty of a single count of inviting support for a banned organization. The jury reached its verdict July 28, but a court-imposed restriction meant it could only be reported on Tuesday.

Mr. Choudary’s close associate, 33-year-old Mohammed Mizanur Rahman, was also found guilty of the same charge. The two men are due to be sentenced on Sept. 6 at London’s Central Criminal Court, known as the Old Bailey.

Authorities in the U.K. and other Western countries have long expressed frustration about how to deal with fundamentalist Islamic leaders who they allege use laws ensuring freedom of speech and religion as a shield to espouse controversial views.
