A Ukrainian student has been jailed for at least 40 years for murdering an 82-year-old man and plotting explosions near mosques in racist attacks.
Pavlo Lapshyn stabbed Mohammed Saleem in Small Heath, Birmingham on 29 April, five days after arriving in the UK.
On Monday, Lapshyn, 25, admitted murder as well as plotting to cause explosions near mosques in Walsall, Tipton and Wolverhampton in June and July.
At the Old Bailey, he was told he would be jailed for life.
Mr Saleem was stabbed to death, just yards from his home, after attending prayers at his local mosque in Green Lane.
Sentencing, Mr Justice Sweeney told him: "You clearly hold extremist right-wing, white supremacist views and you were motivated to commit the offences by religious and racial hatred in the hope that you would ignite racial conflict and cause Muslims to leave the area where you were living.
"Such views, hatred and motivations have no place whatsoever in our multi-faith and multi-cultural society."

Thanks for sharing, Glo.
Imagine if Lapshyn didn't keep hatred in his heart. Now probably Mohammed Saleem still play with his grandchildren in park, and Pavlo Lapshyn enjoying his youth with travelling to many beautiful places in the world.
But, it has been happened.
May Allah give Mohammed Saleem a place in heaven, may Allah forgive Pavlo Lapshyn and make him a better person.

This Pavlo Lypshn must be very disturbed. He is not even white himself! Just by looking at him he looks West Asian. He has light brown skin, brown eyes, round small head and small jaw and lacks wide shoulders and heavy set features of whites (Western Germanic tribes). This sort of attack brings to mind some Russian "neo Nazi's" who were part Jewish let into Israel and started attacking local Jews. I even saw some time ago on the TV news some ultra-assimilated Indian Hindus joining racist English nationalist parties and participating in street riots carried out mainly by Anglo Saxon skinheads and soccer hooligans protesting against Muslims. It's certainly become a mad world!
