Progressive Caucus demands censure of Queens Council Member Vickie Paladino over her anti-Muslim social media posts  amNewYork
"In response to the horrific antisemitic terror attack in Sydney, Australia, Paladino wrote on Sunday that the world is experiencing a global jihad and argued that governments should begin expelling Muslims or imposing severe sanctions on them within Western countries. She also called for the development of a legal framework for denaturalization, warning of another Sept. 11-style attack."
"Australian authorities have stated that the Bondi Beach attack, which left 15 people dead, was carried out by a father and son acting alone, with authorities emphasizing that the attack does not appear to be linked to any larger organized network. Among those praised for their bravery during the attack was Ahmed Al-Ahmed, a Muslim bystander who helped protect victims by disarming one of the gunmen in a now-viral video."
