Wrong on so many levels ,he was arrested and jailed because he was doing this
Guilty of six charges of soliciting to murder under the
Offences against the Person Act 1861; not guilty on three further such charges.
Guilty of three charges related to "using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with the intention of stirring up racial hatred" under the
Public Order Act 1986, not guilty on one further such charge.
Guilty of one further charge of owning recordings related to "stirring up racial hatred".
Guilty of one charge of possessing "terrorist encyclopaedia" under the Terrorism Act 2000, s58. The charges under the Terrorism Act of 2000 related to his possession of the
Encyclopedia of Afghan Jihad and an
Al Qaeda Handbook, and to propaganda materials produced by Masri.
that is why the police arrested him not the government

You also have to remember that just as you are allowed to "vent your spleen" against the country in which you live ,so was he untill he broke the law ,when he did he was arrested tried and thrown in jail
