Whoever called 911 surely had good intentions, but a beard alone does not make someone a terrorist.
The self-proclaimed "Bearded Villains" staged a gathering at some ruins in Sweden and waved a black flag that was apparently mistaken for an Islamic State flag by some drivers.
The group claims two officers arrived, but only found about 30 nice men posing for a photo shoot.
"We had a good laugh with the cops, who had to respond to the [911] call," member Andreas Fransson wrote on Facebook, "but quickly saw that we weren't terrorists out in the middle of nowhere."
Some Facebook users pointed out their flag's similarity to the infamous ISIS logo.
"Each and every day you hear someone say you are a terrorist," co-leader John Ekeblad told The Independent.
But he did admit the two flags have some similarities. It's also reportedly not the first time they have been mistaken for terrorists.
