Fake ISIS attack in Prague, intended as protest, causes panic

PRAGUE: -- Men sporting detachable beards, wielding fake sub-machine guns and shouting "Allahu akbar", drove a Hummer onto Old Town Square in Prague on Sunday in a misguided stunt.

 

The faux occupation stirred panic among tourists, including a group of visitors from Israel. Dozens of onlookers, including some with children, ran for cover, knocking over chairs at restaurants. Several tourists suffered bruises.

 

"We are bringing you the light of true faith," the leader of the men, Martin Konvicka, who was dressed as an imam, told the crowd.

From the linked report:

Konvicka is an anti-immigration activist, and his stunt - which had been preapproved by City Hall - was intended to sound the alarm about the possible threat posed by Islam encroaching on the Czech way of life. But he evidently did not anticipate how it would be received.

 

That said, someone clearly didn't think things through.

Well done ! The Czechs are a beacon of hope in europe. People need to wake up , and these guys made an effort to do so.

They have a lot to defend : not just their culture but hot Czech women , many models and pornstars too.
