""How many Muslim attacks do there have to be until we say enough?" he said. In another post on Monday, Fine went even further, saying: "Diversity has become suicidal." "It is time for a Muslim travel ban, radical deportations of all mainstream Muslim legal and illegal immigrants, and citizenship revocations wherever possible.

Republican lawmakers seized on a Bondi Beach mass shooting to call for deportation and collective punishment of Muslims in America. Sen. Tommy Tuberville posted that "Islam is not a religion. It's a cult" and demanded "SEND THEM HOME NOW" to prevent a "United Caliphate of America," and warned against mass migration of Islamic extremists. Rep. Randy Fine urged a Muslim travel ban, mass deportations, and citizenship revocations, calling diversity "suicidal." The shooters remain not fully identified, and immediate facts about the attack were limited. The statements reflect an escalation of Islamophobic rhetoric from some right-wing officials.
