Hundreds of anti-Islam protesters gathered in Prague, Saturday, in a bid to oppose plans approved by the Czech government to receive an estimated 1,500 asylum seekers into the country. Demonstrators met in the centre of the city, wearing banners and holding banners bearing the message "Say no to Islam." Many in the group also signed a petition calling for a referendum on the Czech Republic to leave the EU. The government's decision to accept the refugees, who are predominantly from Muslim majority countries, into the Czech Republic has caused a national debate on immigration in the country. The anti-Islam protesters in Prague were met by a mass counter-demonstration, decrying racism, Islamophobia and xenophobic nationalism.
