A secretly filmed speech against Muslims by the leader of the rightwing British National Party Nick Griffin was heard at court yesterday, including claims that the holy Qur’an allows rape and paedophilia against non-Muslim.
Griffin, 45, and his fellow BNP activist Mark Collett, 24, face a series of race hate charges arising out of speeches given two years ago in small West Yorkshire towns, and aired in an undercover BBC documentary last summer. About 12 BNP activists were arrested by the police after the screening of the documentary.
At private party meetings, Griffin described parts of the United Kingdom as “multiracial hellholes” targeted by an Asian Muslim plan for global conquest.
Opening a two-week trial at Leeds crown court, the prosecution said that Griffin focused on paedophile drug rape in a recruiting speech in Keighley in January 2004 shortly after a gang of British Asian men were jailed for violence, drug dealing and sexual assault on under-age girls.
The court heard that Griffin told his audience: "These attacks are going to continue, because that is what the Qur'an says…. The police force and elected governors haven’t done a damn thing about it….Their 'good book' tells them that that's acceptable. If you doubt it, go and buy a copy and you will find verse after verse saying you can take any woman you want as long as they're not Muslim….”
He added that: “It's part of their plan for conquering countries. They will expand into the rest of the UK as the last whites try and find their way to the sea. Vote BNP so the British people really realize the evil of what these people have done to our country."
Griffin told the meeting that he could be sentenced to seven years in jail for his inflammatory remarks, but used the word “Muslim” to make his attacks appear to be aimed at religion rather than race.
Prosecutor Rodney Jameson told the court that “no society can permit disapproval of another race to be expressed in such strong terms that hatred be stirred up against people on the basis of race or ethnicity".
well in his speech (dnt no if u saw it) he was quoteing from Al-Quran some verses which were out of context,
many of the non-muslims i know they jus take sum1's word for it and dnt look up for the proofs themselves.
May Allah (swt) show these ppl the stright path
