U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., believes that anyone “practicing” sharia law in the U.S. should be “deported immediately.”

Tuberville made the comments Wednesday during a 13-minute speech on the Senate floor alongside a poster that says, “BAN SHARIA LAW.”

Throughout the speech Tuberville mentioned that “radical Islamic extremists” were a threat to America and even stated that these extremists “want every single freedom loving American dead, bottom line.

“They have proven over and over again that they’re willing to do whatever it takes to kill just one American citizen, whatever it takes and it isn’t just happening overseas,” Tuberville said. “It has been allowed to fester and is alive and well in our very own country, just waiting for the right opportunity to attack.”

Throughout the years many conservative politicians have invoked the prospect of “sharia law” taking over America as an Islamophobic and anti-Muslim trope.

In a statement to AL.com, Deputy Director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Edward Ahmed Mitchell, said that Tuberville’s remarks were “dangerous hatred against American Muslims” and he could learn about Islam if he took up a months-old offer to visit a Birmingham mosque.

“If Senator Tuberville ever takes up the community’s offer to visit an Alabama mosque, he will learn that Alabama Muslims are following sharia—which means the way to water—when they pray five times a day, fast in Ramadan, give in charity, and follow the laws of the land in which they live,” Mitchell said.

“Senator Tuberville will also learn that American Muslims have consistently opposed all forms of unjust violence, from terrorist attacks by Al-Qaeda and ISIS, to the genocide perpetrated by Israeli government in Gaza. This is called moral consistency, and Senator Tuberville should try it.”

CAIR invited Tuberville to a mosque in June after he said that people attempting to come to Alabama from blue states were not welcome if they brought a, “communist, Islamic atmosphere.”

Tuberville also claimed that three prominent Muslim Democratic politicians, Zohran Mamdani, Illhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, were supporters of Hamas.

Each of them have been targets of Islamophobic right-wing attacks as Omar most recently was equated to being a “Muslim terrorist” by fellow congressman Rep. Randy Fine, R-FL.

None of these politicians have ever stated support for Hamas rather they have continuously condemned Israel as an apartheid state committing what the United Nations has found to be a genocide.

According to a report by CAIR earlier this year, instances of anti-Muslim and Islamophobic discrimination were at an all time high since the organization began tracking the data in 1996.
