Anti-Islam Group Beheads Dummy in Protest of Bendigo Mosque

TEHRAN (IQNA) - Anti-mosque campaigners went to new lengths to protest against the approval of a mosque in Bendigo, Australia, when a small group of men beheaded a dummy at the local council building on Sunday.

Members of anti-Islam group United Patriots Front gathered at the Bendigo council in the afternoon to cut the head off a small dummy in a black mask, spilling fake blood on the ground just metres away from the council's entrance.

The United Patriots Front describe themselves as a "nationwide movement, opposing the spread of Left Wing treason and spread of Islamism".

The group's leader Blair Cottrell said the stunt was a "political statement against diversity dogma".

The group has been active in its objection to a mosque being built in Bendigo, and have attended a number of rallies marred by ugly scenes between counter protesters.

Another rally against the mosque is planned for this Saturday in Bendigo.
