Looks like he committed the most horrible crime there is -- standing up for white people!

The leader of the British National Party was under police investigation last night after he described Islam as a "wicked, vicious faith".

Nick Griffin made the remarks at a BNP meeting in Keighley, West Yorks, which were recorded by an undercover BBC reporter.

Asked whether he would apologise, Mr Griffin told the BBC last night: "No, because the law is an ass. A law which says that when you see a building with smoke pouring out of it, you can't shout fire, you can't give a warning, is a bad law."

A West Yorkshire Police spokesman said it would investigate the programme's claims to find out if any offences had taken place.

Mr Griffin was asked on BBC's Newsnight whether he thought Islam had expanded due to rape - a theory he had put forward in an earlier speech. "It's one of the ways in which it's expanded," he replied. "It's also expanded as the Koran tells its followers to do so - it's expanded at the point of the sword."

In the BBC documentary, Mr Griffin said he could face seven years in prison if he made his comments about Islam in public.

Last night, the BNP took nearly a third of the votes in a ward by-election in east London's Barking and Dagenham borough which was won by Labour.

He asked that BBc allow him a 15 minute time slot to explain his views on Islam , BBc won't be giving him this :eek:
In the daily Mail ( next day) he invited the DPP to take action against him , will be interesting to see what actually comes out of it all.

This might just be the greatest thing to ever happen to the BNP. It has been given the golden opportunity to identify itself with resistance to Islamic colonialism. The political mainstream in the UK is only getting more and more out of touch with the populace who are increasingly voting for the BNP, Lib Dems, and UKIP.
