This is the time topless two feminist protesters stormed a Muslim conference before being kicked and dragged.

Video shows the two women, who were naked from the waist up, jumping on stage at the event in Pontoise, northwest of Paris in France.

The unidentified women, 25 and 31 years old, can be seen grabbing the microphone, shouting and punching the air as the two men leading the conference retreat to the back of the stage. Both had messages written in black on the chest with a single translated as: "Nobody makes me submit '.

Moments later the two women were taken away as the event descended into chaos.

The first woman is kidnapped by a security guard, while the other continues to protest on stage. But seconds later, more men arrive and the second is dragged.

Dramatic images seems to show a man kicking out one of the women while she was on the floor.
The identities of the women involved are still unclear, but reports indicate that the activists were part of Femen.

The group, which began in Ukraine in 2008, is known for the use of nudity to promote their protests against governments and organizations with which they disagree.

Earlier this year, Femen activists disrupted a May Day speech by the French far-right leader Marine Le Pen, giving the Nazi salute and drowning out with a megaphone.

In chaotic scenes in Paris, two activists had also broken in a ceremony as the National Front leader laid a wreath in honor of Joan of Arc
