The demonstration, titled “Walk With Jesus”, was scheduled for January 31st in Whitechapel – long home to one of Britain’s largest Islamic populations.
GB News Metropolitan Police officials said permitting the event in that location would be “reckless” given the potential for Muslim violence.
This marks the second UKIP event (below) banned from Muslim dominant area of Tower Hamlets in recent months. In October, the Met outlawed a planned demonstration called “The Mass Deportations Tour” over fears of serious disorder caused by outraged Muslims.
That decision prompted a counter-protest, which WAS allowed to proceed, in which hundreds of men from the local Bangladeshi Muslim community, wearing masks, balaclavas and dark clothing, gathered in the streets.
Protesters descended on Whitechapel to “stand firm” and show that they were “ready to defend our community” – and columns of men could be seen chanting “Allahu Akbar” as they marched.
“Walk With Jesus” march planned for Jan 31, in Whitechapel, London banned by MET Police.
The Met said while the march would be permitted to go ahead at a different location, it would be “reckless” to allow it to happen in Whitechapel, given the risk of violence and disorder.

Nigel Farage described the scenes as one of the most “terrifying things” he had ever witnessed. “It was like a foreign invading army marching through our streets. I defy anyone in this room to tell me that’s wrong. I really, genuinely do,” he said.
UKIP subsequently redirected their rally through west London, finishing at Marble Arch. The party accused police of “caving in to Islamic extremists” and “violating their democratic right to assembly”.

But Muslims are allowed to do this.

we wont let them destroy our cultur or religion says the politician. what he meant is that we destroy our cultur and religion for them and anyone not with us is a nazi and raccist and most importantly a full blooded 100% antisemite. what bullshit but the nation is quiet and understanding then no one stands up to this bullshit. this is what the special OUR DEMOCRACY means …get it?.
If the British police were really serious about stopping violence, they ban the Muslims from Great Britain; the Unired Kingdom.
How to give up your country without looking like you are giving up your country. Must be huge amounts of money involved. Wonder how much englands rich are pocketing?
How about giving the “Walk with Jesus” crowd police protection in such overwhelming numbers that the muzzies would back down from?
I guess any expectation of keeping the seventh century savages under control is out of the question…
Maybe if they elect someone like Nigel Farage?
So, Britain is now in Dhimmi status! When will it submit to full blown Shariah? Cowards!
