Scotland Yard has stopped a Ukip march from going ahead in east London over fears of provoking the local Muslim community.
The demonstration, titled "Walk With Jesus", was scheduled for January 31 in Whitechapel - long home to one of Britain's largest Islamic populations.
Metropolitan Police officials said permitting the event in that location would be "reckless" given the potential for violence.
Social media advertisements promoted the gathering as a "Christian march", inviting participants to worship Jesus Christ during January, which organisers described as "the month dedicated to the holy name of Jesus".
Authorities confirmed the march could take place elsewhere - but not in Whitechapel.
This marks the second Ukip event banned from Tower Hamlets in recent months.
In October, the Met outlawed a planned demonstration called "The Mass Deportations Tour" over fears of serious disorder.
That decision prompted a counter-protest in which
hundreds of men from the local Bangladeshi community, wearing masks, balaclavas and dark clothing, gathered in the streets.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner James Harman said the decision rested solely on public safety concerns, not political considerations.
"It would be reckless to allow an event to go ahead when we understand there's a risk of serious violence to members of the community and to our officers.
"We are not doing so on the grounds of politics. We're not even doing so on the grounds of whether people will be offended or not by their presence," he explained.
"We are doing so solely on our risk assessment for serious disorder."

The senior officer confirmed that should a more appropriate route be agreed, the procession could proceed as it did previously.
Anyone defying the restrictions and attending the banned march would face arrest, he warned.
Commentary:
The Met told the truth though, West Midlands Police LIED! Successive Governments have allowed this to happen in fact recently they have been encouraging it as they allowed the HATE marches!
Well, obviously, it is a genetic disease Muslims are known to have, there. “Sudden Jihadi Syndrome” is a real issue and they can't be expected to behave, that government believes.
When will the name “Whitechapel” be considered offensive and have to be changed.
The Brits are scared to death of the Muslims , when the streets are flowing with blood will they say don’t shoot back you might offend the Muslims.
When Trump said "You are losing your country" , Europe, this is what he was talking about.
Can't repel Muslims from your own country but you think you can replace NATO and go it without the USA.
This is the fault of the Globalist ideology especially in the U.K.
Unless the government changes their attitude towards the Muslim invasion, stops entry and begins deporting them the UK will become not just "Londonistan" but "Britainistan".
