David Parnham, 35, is accused of a total of 14 offences spanning two years, including one count of soliciting to murder.
He is also charged with two counts of sending a number of letters promoting a “Punish A Muslim Day”, capable of encouraging the commission of one or more of a number of offences.
Parnham further faces five counts of sending a substance with the intention of inducing in a person a belief that it is likely to contain a noxious substance, five counts of sending a number of letters conveying a threat and one count of making a bomb hoax.
