The British National Party is urging its members to drop anti-semitism in favour of Islamophobia in order to win votes ahead of May’s assembly elections in London . Its leader ,Nick Griffin ,has written in favour of “adopting an 'Islamophobic' position that appeals to large numbers of ordinary people”. Targeting Zionist voters and former supporters of the ,now largely defunct , UK Independence Party , the BNP expects to pick up the necessary votes to win at least one seat in the election . One of its councillor , Pat Richardson , is quoted in today’s Guardian saying :
"I'm in the BNP because no one else speaks out against the Islamification of our country."

Despite having roots in openly pro-Nazi groups , the BNP’s is now ardently pro- Zionist and regularly demonises Islam and the Muslim world on its website . After the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons provocation, the party republished one of the cartoons on a leaflet, accompanied by a photo of Muslim demonstrators holding placards bearing murderous anti British slogans .
