A speaker named Tim Dieppe addressed the British Parliament this week, arguing that the influence of Islam needs to be resisted. Dieppe, who delivered the talk entitled "The Challenge of Islam," claimed that Islam is already threatening democracy and altering the nation's culture. People gathered from south of the River Thames to view the Palace of Westminster, according to AFP.

Dieppe, a writer for Christian Concern and part of the Protestant Truth Society, believes certain practices of Islam should be banned while still allowing freedom of religion. He stated, "Islam is already threatening our democracy and changing our culture," and added that "we need to clearly understand that Muslims are redeemable, whereas Islam is not and pray accordingly."
