Texas Congressman Plans Resolution Condemning Imam's Social Media Post About Sen. Lindsey Graham

Texas imam Omar Suleiman posted on social media early Sunday morning that Sen. Lindsey Graham was dead and wished him an eternity in ruins over his support for Israel. Fox News reported the post read: "In other news, Lindsey Graham is dead.

Bye Lindsey. May you live an eternity in ruins for the ruins you helped create in Gaza. " Rep. Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas, plans to introduce a resolution on Wednesday that would formally condemn Suleiman.

Van Duyne represents the suburban Dallas district where Suleiman lives and serves as president and co-founder of the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research. The measure alleges that Suleiman has defended convicted terrorists and traveled to Turkey to support members of the Muslim Brotherhood. Suleiman delivered the opening prayer in the House chamber in May 2019 at the invitation of former Rep.

Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Texas, who died in 2023. The resolution also highlights what it describes as Sharia law's incompatibility with constitutional principles and American life. Van Duyne said she is discussing the resolution with congressional leadership and hopes Democrats will support it.

Fox News reported that Van Duyne stated eleven years ago she felt she was on her own in speaking out against radical Islam, but now other Republican leaders are joining her. Suleiman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The resolution pays tribute to Graham, who served in Congress for decades and advocated for Israel's actions in Gaza as well as support for Ukraine and Taiwan.
