talking about the OP, the BNP are a vile bunch of fascists, but they are entitled to the same rights as everybody else. the governments response to this is far more worrying than anything the BNP have come out with, and is yet another example of their authoritarian tendencies.

the whole thing was a farce from start to finish, there a law against inciting racial hatred, but none against inciting religious hatred (it was defeated in parliament this year) and muslims are not of one race. therefore you'd think it was rather obvious that this prosecuting would fail. however instead of letting the matter quietly drop, the authorities pressed on, giving the BNP lots of free air time to spread their views, and now that the inevitable failure has come, it is being used by new labour, as another excuse to restrict people's freedoms.
