Im not sure it would be the same applicable laws. White supremacists preach against a race - they dont like non-white people. Religious fanatics preach against "opposing" religions. It would be inciting racial hatred which is pretty clear cut and is definitely illegal full stop against statements against other religions which is inciting religous hatred but it doesnt (in england anyway) seem quite as easy to get people arrested on this. Some success but there is a lot of grey.
I think incitement to violence could be observed from both. I'm not clear on the law though.

When a documentary crew from the UK made a documentary undercover in a mosque the results seem to have been terribly muddied:

The main question appears to have been the extent and effect of the editing of the programme. The police did not bring any charges, but in this case they were looking at incitement to racial hatred, not simply violence.

It does indicate that it would be possible in the UK to work undercover somewhere and then present raw footage to the police as evidence.

Could this happen here?
