7:56Now PlayingA local official in Florida posted a photo on Facebook of a group of Muslim men praying at a beach, he was very concerned about this. After the picture was posted a man running for sheriff left a ridiculous comment on the social media post.
Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian (The Point), Ben Mankiewicz (Turner Classic Movies), and Jimmy Dore, (The Jimmy Dore Show Podcast), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down.

A photo taken by a Florida county commissioner of a group of men observing their Muslim faith has ignited a xenophobic backlash that spilled over into a recent government meeting, WTXL reports.
The photo was taken at Mashes Sands Beach in Wakulla County by county commission chairman Ralph Thomas and posted to his Facebook page with the caption, “Walked up on this at Mashes Sands this evening! First time seeing this in Wakulla County.” The photo has sparked an emotional storm that has included death threats.
“I’m raising the question of whether or not a group of military aged Muslim men… are praying on our beach, well label me whatever you want,” said Wakulla County Sheriff candidate Will Dance, according to WTXL. “The reason I brought this up is because my daughters use that beach, my wife uses that beach and gentlemen, under Sharia Law, the cutoff shorts and tee-shirts… that my family wears on that beach are considered offensive under Sharia and any Muslim man may carry out what he feels is fit punishment. And I’m sorry but that type of behavior cannot happen here.”
