#1 "[BNP leader] Mr Griffin accused the programme makers of selectively editing a speech he delivered in the film and challenged the authorities to prosecute him. "It's still not illegal to criticise Islam", he said. "If Mr Blunkett wants to put me on a show trial about whether we're entitled to warn about the dangers of Islam, I will be absolutely delighted." Any jury would see the full speech, in which he states that the BNP is not targeting individuals or communities, he added. The BBC was failing in its charter terms to represent the views of BNP supporters who now represented 5% of the electorate, claimed Mr Griffin."
It's a shame the issue of the problems with Islam is left to the racist thugs of the BNP, a party which is to politics what football hooligans are to ball sports. Nevertheless, I agree with his challenge to Blunkett - anyone should be free to criticise any religion.
Boasting about attacking a random Muslim (if that's what a BNP member claims to have done) and having 'squirted dog faeces through the letterbox of an Indian takeaway' are just the acts of twats as anathema to civilised society as the Islamists they hate... |
