This is the moment when a Muslim community leader spoke to 'Tommy Robinson' in Blackpool
This is the moment when Nadeem Ashfaq, an interfaith leader from Preston, approached Robinson to talk about Islam on Monday evening.
Robinson had held a rally in Blackpool as part of his campaign to be the North West's MEP in upcoming European elections.
Robinson says: "I'm coming to Preston."

Later in the video, Ashfaq explains that "because I'm a Brit, and I love this country," he works with Islam groups to counter extremist rhetoric.
"That's part of our challenge, we're trying to reeducate the Muslim community - a lot of extremism is competing against our religion, and against being British."
The two men shook hands and agreed to a meeting in Preston later this month.
