(Daytona Beach News-Journal) A national Muslim organization said on Tuesday, June 10, that it had designated Florida Congressman Randy Fine as an “anti-Muslim extremist” and put him on its “[Islamophobia] hate list.”
Fine, who represents part of Volusia County and all of Flagler County as part of District 6, has criticized the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which made the comments, in the past.
The nonprofit, which has its headquarters in Washington, D.C., and refers to itself as “the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights advocacy organization,” said Fine has used “unceasingly violent rhetoric directed at Muslims and Palestinians.”
The group’s announcement focused in part on Fine’s recent comments to the News-Journal.
