If he were Muslim . . .

Last week, Robert Cottage of the BNP (British National Party) was in court for stockpiling chemicals and  accused of "conspiracy to cause an explosion."

See the BBC article here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lancashire/6369953.stm

I can't help thinking of the word missing from this article ? terrorist.  The word terrorist has been used more freely on raids where no weapon materials were found.  His arrest wasn't even in the national news (yet, we watched a couple of Muslim brothers on trial in the press last year and nothing was found).

If Robert Cottage were Muslim, would the article call him a terrorist?  Would he be tried under terror laws?  Is there something wrong here?
