FEMEN Activists Dragged Offstage at Islam event (France)

Video at link. For those who like to nitpick grammar, this is from a European site that translates articles into English:

The chaos began when the two topless women race on to the stage as two Imams were giving a talk on Saturday evening at the conference in Pontoise near Paris.

The women, who were of Algerian and Tunisian origin, had anti-Muslim slogans on their chest that read: “No one will submit me, I am my own prophet". They began shouting the same words to the audience...

Images show the two women disappearing under a sea of bodies, with some of the men appearing to launch kicks and slaps at the pair. The melee continued behind a screen out of sight of the cameras.

The site Buzzfeed France confirmed that one of the women had been punched several times in the aftermath of the incident.

Police quickly intervened to lead the two women away.

She said there were cries of “dirty whores and kill them,” as the men stormed the stage.
