Police called to investigate ISIS Meeting. Turns out it’s a beard club

You know the typical terrorist get-up; long beard, skinny jeans and pork pie hat.

Turns out someone in Sweden thinks ISIS is really embracing the hipster look and called the cops on a gathering of the Bearded Villains, claiming they saw 30 terrorists waving an ISIS flag.

The group, who so eloquently call themselves a “brotherhood of elite bearded men from all over the world”, had gathered for a photoshoot at Brahehus Castle in the small province of Småland - until the police turned up.

Group member Andreas Fransson said:
 

We had a good laugh with the cops, who had to respond to the call, but quickly saw that we weren't terrorists, out in the middle of nowhere, dressed in formal wear, hugging and laughing.

We can’t tell what’s more depressing; the ridiculous profiling, the fact that there is a brotherhood of beards or that they have branded merchandise.
