In December of 2015 a photo circulated widely on Twitter and Facebook purporting to show a large rally in Dearborn, Michigan in support of the terrorist group ISIS.

Factcheck.org looked into the claim and found it to be "completely false." Ironically, the large rally in Dearborn was AGAINST ISIS, not for it.

"Local TV station WXYZ in Detroit reported on the anti-ISIS rally. Hundreds of Arab Americans attended," noted Factcheck.org.

 "The station's video report shows demonstrators chanting, 'No more ISIS in the world!' Many carried flags or banners — but in opposition to ISIS, not in support of it. One of the signs (above) reads, '99.9% of ISIS victims are Muslims.'"
