Answer
In 2005, Nick Griffin, the former leader of the far-right British National Party (BNP), was charged with inciting racial hatred under Section 18 of the Public Order Act 1986. The charges stemmed from a speech he made at a BNP rally in London, where he stated that Islam is "a vicious, evil ideology." The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) decided to press charges after receiving numerous complaints about the speech.
