A member of the neo-Nazi National Front in Glasgow decided to put some of that rabble-rousing anti-Islam populist rhetoric into action, by allegedly threatening to murder Muslims and blow up mosques.

A man has admitted he threatened to blow up Glasgow Central Mosque and execute a Muslim a day unless all Mosques in Scotland were closed.

Neil MacGregor, 36, who described himself as a “racist”, made the threats after watching an internet video of a British hostage being beheaded in Iraq. Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that he sent an email to Strathclyde Police and made a threatening phone call.

He telephoned and emailed Strathclyde Police to make the threats from a flat in Glasgow, between 30 January and 15 February 2007.

The court heard that the email read: “I’m a proud racist and National Front member. We as an organisation have decided to deal with the current threat from Muslims in our own British way, like our proud ancestors.

“Our demands are very small. Close all mosques in Scotland. If our demands aren’t met by next Friday, we’ll kidnap one Muslim and execute him or her on the internet, just like they did to our Ken Bigley.”

MacGregor then followed up the email with a call threatening to blow up Central Mosque.
