| Description | The leader of the British National Party told a jury yesterday that he believed Islam was a "wicked, vicious faith".
Nick Griffin, 46, is on trial accused of using threatening, abusive or insulting words intended to stir up racial hatred. He and party activist Mark Collett, 25, were both charged over comments they made in a series of speeches that were covertly recorded by a BBC reporter in 2004.
Griffin, a Cambridge graduate, who is married with four children, went in the witness box to give evidence in his own defence at Leeds Crown Court.
He said he genuinely believed that Islam was a "wicked, vicious faith", but added that this was not a criticism of Muslim people.
