Fox News • • world
Key Points:
- Texas Imam Omar Suleiman faces Capitol Hill backlash after a social media post celebrating Sen. Lindsey Graham's death, wishing him "an eternity in ruins" due to his support for Israel.
- Rep. Beth Van Duyne plans to introduce a resolution condemning Suleiman, highlighting his previous controversial remarks and his 2019 prayer before the House, which was invited by a Democrat.
- Van Duyne criticizes Suleiman's message as hateful and deplorable, urging bipartisan condemnation and linking it to a broader decline in civility and rising calls for violence in political discourse.
- The resolution also addresses concerns about Sharia law's incompatibility with American values and praises Graham's legacy as a staunch supporter of Israel and advocate for democracy.
- Suleiman has not responded to requests for comment, and Van Duyne emphasizes the need for elected officials to stand against radicalism and restore respectful political debate.
