Actually I admire him for saying what a lot of people may think. He has spokien out against something that others choose to pussyfoot around. It's extremely fashionable to rip into the BNP, and often rightly so; but to say anything detrimental about Muslim groups is generally taboo.
One point that is likely to get less airtime due to the mention of Muslims is this:

multiculturalism "has tended on the whole to emphasise differences between us rather than actually creating a framework in which difference flourishes".

That is a verytrue statement. It flies in the face of the government's attempts to promote multiculturalism somewhat, but it's better to look honestly at something that doesn't work, than to keep insisting it does work.
All in all, a good speech by Cameron
