Rep. Beth Van Duyne says she plans to introduce a resolution condemning imam Omar Suleiman over a social media post celebrating news of Sen. Lindsey Graham’s death. The proposed measure would also criticize Suleiman’s past remarks and views on Sharia law.
Van Duyne said she plans to introduce a resolution on Wednesday to condemn Suleiman, who posted that Graham was dead and wished him “an eternity in ruins” over his support for Israel. Van Duyne argued that Congress should condemn the post and said she hoped Democrats would support her measure.
The article says the proposed resolution also raises Suleiman’s past remarks, alleged support for convicted terrorists, and Sharia law. Suleiman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
