Griffin informed BNP members that rather than " bang on " about the Jews — which would be deemed extremist and prove electorally unpopular — their party should focus on criticising Islam , an issue that would be more resonant among the British public . After Griffin took over , the party increasingly embraced an Islamophobic stance , launching a " Campaign Against Islam " in September 2001 . In '' Islam : A Threat to Us All '' , a leaflet distributed to London households in 2007 , the BNP claimed that it would stand up to both Islamic extremism and " the threat that ' mainstream ' Islam poses to our British culture " . In contrast to the mainstream British view that the actions of militant Islamists — such as those who perpetrated the 7 July 2005 London bombings — are not representative of mainstream Islam , the BNP insists that they are . In some of its literature it presents the view that every Muslim in Britain is a threat to the country . Griffin referred to Islam as an " evil , wicked faith " , and elsewhere publicly described it as a " cancer " that needed to be removed from Europe through " chemotherapy "
