The Guardian reports:
A club of bearded men posing for a photograph in the Swedish countryside with their black flag was mistaken for Islamic State militants, prompting a visit by the police, a club member has said.
Andreas Fransson was with his friends on Saturday outside the ruins of Brahehus castle in southern Sweden when two police officers turned up.
“They told us that a motorist thought he had seen a gathering of Isis terrorists,” said Fransson, whose Bearded Villains organisation does charity work.

Nothing wrong with that. Mistaken identity and sorted. Move along. Easy mistake.

I’ve a feeling ‘bearded hipster group’ will tell this tale of perceived ‘prejudice’ for a very loooooonnnnng time.
A club for men with beards. So basically worse than ISIS.
Those are hipsters not men….
Everyone’s a hipster these days, even you. Denying it just makes you more of a hipster.
I tried to join but my beard growing skills leave much to be desired, too much oestrogen. They wouldn’t let me. *cries, cuddles craft beer*
don’t worry don, you can still do movember ;)
Well I’m definitely going to do Pube-ly.
I thought it was Fanuary?
Bollock-tober?
craft beer will turn you into a fatty
Remember that craft beer can’t hug you back. Unlike delicious, warming bourbon *mmmm, bourbon*
Let’s hope neither anarchism nor piracy make a comeback.
The Met gun down innocent Brazilian Electricians, and yet these guys escape with nary a bruise
Well, these guys were white so the Met would have left them alone
