This resolution condemns Omar Suleiman for publicly celebrating the death of Senator Lindsey Graham on July 12, 2026, just hours after the Senator's passing. It honors Senator Graham's extensive public service, recognizing his dedication as a legislator and military officer, and his leadership in American foreign policy and national security, particularly his strong support for Israel. The resolution highlights Suleiman's controversial background, noting his role as Founder and President of the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research, and his past actions such as defending convicted terrorists, calling for a third Intifada, and supporting Muslim Brotherhood leaders. It also points out that House Democrats invited Suleiman to serve as the Guest Chaplain of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2019. Ultimately, the House of Representatives resolves to honor Senator Graham's service, express gratitude for his contributions to foreign policy and US-Israel relations, and unequivocally condemn Suleiman's statement. Furthermore, it supports the efforts of House Republicans, including the Sharia-Free America Caucus, in raising awareness about the perceived incompatibility of Sharia Law with American constitutional principles and individual liberty.
