It was reported that the gathering originated as Hatun Tash, from the “DCCI Ministries” and other activists were peacefully debating Islam with other critics as well as followers of Islam. 

Political scientist Adrian Hilton and other celebrities condemned the action urging the public to protect freedom of speech and expression in the UK.
