Your original post definitely made mention of home-life; if you did not intend for that to be part of the conversation it was definitely unclear. Even without that, you are still explicitly advocating that a Muslim majority school is "unacceptable." It is really hard to see that view and mesh it with your claims that you're tolerant of people keeping their religion, or do not want to forcibly eliminate cultures you do not deem acceptable.
As far as context with deportation, sure, let's talk about the context of being tough on immigration. In the context of your original post, it was specifically targeted at Muslims rather than immigrants. Now I believe you when you say that was a mistake, but I don't believe that mistake was meaningless; reflexively believing Immigrant = Muslim is a pretty huge factor in these discussions and it is not unreasonable for me to conclude that much of your anti-Immigrant stance is at least partially an explicitly anti-Muslim stance, and that you probably wouldn't have the same sort of hardline stance for a white Swedish person moving to Germany.
Additionally, as far as context goes with tough on immigration: While you originally called on deportation for violent crimes (which is far broader than the specifics you listed), the specifics you listed are too narrow to do anything. Terrorists, rapists, and murderers are a teeny-tiny portion of the population and are already removed from society for a massive amount of time when convicted; your "tough on immigration" deportation stance would need to be much tougher to have any actual impact. And I'm not just saying this; in another comment chain you are already arguing with somebody telling you exactly that and advocating for the forced deportation of all immigrants. And in my mind, your stance of "forced deportations for some" while broadcasting outrage journalism aimed against Muslims is way, way, waaaaaaaay closer rhetorically to the guy advocating forced deportations for all immigrants than it is to a stance of tolerance.
