Campaigners are calling for a controversial US pastor to be banned from entering the UK to share his views on Islam with activists.
Terry Jones attracted condemnation when he threatened to burn copies of the Quran on this year's 9/11 anniversary.
He said his presence at an English Defense League rally in February would be "positive" but he claimed he would preach against "extremist Muslims".
Mr. Jones, pastor of the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, planned on holding a rally to burn Qurans on the anniversary of 9/11, which ignited protests worldwide.
