A white supremacist, whose extremist group planned to target Muslims, Jews and others was jailed for 10 years on Friday after he became the first person in Britain to be convicted for producing a chemical weapon.

Ian Davison, 42, a member of the "Aryan Strike Force" (ASF) organisation, manufactured enough of the deadly poison ricin to kill nine people and kept it in a jar in his kitchen.
...
His son Nicky, 19, a fellow member of ASF which considered itself to be the country's most right-wing group, was sentenced to two years in a young offenders' institution after he was convicted of possessing material useful for acts of terrorism.
...
Ian Davison was in contact with a Nazi in Serbia and the pair discussed poisoning water supplies used by Muslims, Edis said. He also wrote on an internet forum: "The Jew is the Aryan's sworn enemy above all."

1. Imagine if a Muslim had tried this

We'd never hear the end of it. This, however, will receive a mention in the news and that will be the end of that.

2. Yup. Just like the guys with the arsenal in the storage unit in Texas.

Treated as the criminals they were, tried, sentenced, and forgotten. Cause it ain't terrorism unless you are brown.

4. BBC story on this: "County Durham terror plot father and son are jailed"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/wear/8682132.stm

""The purpose of the violence was the creation of an international Aryan group which would establish white supremacy in 'white' countries. "

"The Crown said the group had not picked out particular targets, but had run a training camp in Cumbria and made promotional films.

The ASF, also known as the Wolf Pack, aimed to overthrow "Zionist" governments and considered itself to be the UK's most right-wing group. Davison Snr was in contact with a Nazi in Serbia and the pair discussed poisoning water supplies used by Muslims, Mr Edis said."

""They hated minority ethnic groups, be they black, Asian, Muslim or Jewish.""
---------------------
Sound like BNP material: "white supremacy in 'white' countries" & "hated minority ethnic groups, be they black, Asian, Muslim or Jewish".

5. He stored the ricin in a jar in his kitchen? Sounds like a Darwin Award Candidate.

"What's in this jar? Maybe I'll just taste it and find out....oops"

6. Do muslims have their own water supplies? If so,why?

7. Given that was an international conversation, they presumably mean in a Muslim nation

or an area where the vast majority is Muslim - eg the Serb might have tried to attack a Bosnian Muslim area.
