8:04Now PlayingA Michigan town has blocked one of their Muslim residents from building a summer camp, for fear that it will become an ISIS training camp. The man wanted to build the camp for his son and daughter to bring their scout troops to earn some extra money. The other residents are convinced that it will become a training ground for Muslim extremists. John Iadarola (Think Tank), Hannah Cranston (Think Tank), (The Point) and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
Did this man really intend on building an ISIS training camp in Michigan? What’s more dangerous: summer camps for kids or Bill O’Reilly fear mongering? Let us know in the comments below.

"A Michigan man who is a not-very-pious Muslim is taken aback by neighbors in his rural community who oppose his plans to build a secular summer camp for kids on his property because they think it’s going to be an ISIS training camp.
David Salha, who is an American citizen and immigrated to the United States from Lebanon when he was 8 years old, wanted to build a summer getaway on his 150-acre property in Lupton, a rural Michigan town just north of Detroit, the Huffington Post reports.
But when he was going about his way and applying for required use permits, he was shocked to discover his neighbors had whipped themselves into a frenzy and escalated a summer camp for kids into an imagined ISIS hotbed."
