Not that I've heard...but I'm sure the police and secret police keep a very close eye on them. So far there have been no incidents of anyone Muslim doing anything wrong other than parking in the wrong place. The idiot and very right-wing President is very much against immigrants of any kind and Muslim immigrants even more so. He also just loves Trump and is about to visit him in D.C. for some kind of love fest. A small group of neo-Nazis occasionally demonstrate to kick out all Muslims from the Czech Republic [there are so few one would hardly notice them at all]...but this group would also like to move out the Jews [also few in number, having been exterminated during the War], the Gypsies [ditto], and a lot of other small groups. They are ignored by most of society, but too many of the police are also members of these gangs cum political entities here.
That said, I wanted to update this STRONG xenophobia of the Czechs with this recent poll:
Poll: Most Czechs still reject refugees

Prague, March 27 (CTK) - Some 61 percent of Czechs reject the acceptance of refugees from the countries afflicted by war conflicts, which is 3 percent less than at the at end of last year, according to a poll conducted by the CVVM polling institute in February and released yesterday.
Some 32 percent are ready to only accept the migrants until they are able to return to their country of origin.
Only 3 percent believe that the Czech Republic should accept the refugees and let them settle here.
The readiness to accept migrants temporarily slightly increased along with the respondents' attained education and declared living standards.
"We also know from the previous polls that the Czech public expects foreigners to adapt themselves as much as possible to the habits of Czech culture," the CVVM said.
"Also, it considers them a certain security risk," it added.
Refugees were denoted as a security risk to the Czech Republic by 73 percent of Czechs, the same figure as Islamic state.
Some 41 percent of Czechs say the fighting in Ukraine between its military and pro-Russian separatists is a threat. [NOTE: Ukraine is very close to here and the greatest number of immigrants by far are Ukrainians who share much culturally and linguistically with Czechs]
Some 63 percent of Czechs, 4 percent more than at the end of last year, are interested in the situation of the refugees.
Interest in Islamic State was expressed by 57 percent of Czechs and by less than one-third in the conflict in Ukraine.

Yes, very short memories, as a very large % of Czechs left the country after 1968 for other countries. Most, however, never returned and only come to visit now. Those who never left do not seem to have awareness of this even though they almost all have family or friends who sought refuge somewhere else....humans!
