Several tourists thought the gunfire was real and fled for cover, hiding in the square and running into nearby restaurants - causing panic and hysteria in the busy city centre.

Shockingly cops had given the go ahead for the controversial planned demo, although they brought it to a halt when the fake jihadis pretended to publicly execute prisoners.

The group claims it was trying to show people how the country would look under Muslim rule.

But one tourist told the newspaper: "I'm from Belgium and I'm telling you, it is very dangerous."

Konvicka Martin, leader of the anti-immigration group, said the demonstration was a complete success and dismissed stories of panic among the audience.

He wrote on Facebook: "Until a few Muslims started shouting aggressively and push towards the performers, everything went very peacefully."
