福克斯新闻独家首发： 曾受邀在国会前祈祷的得克萨斯州伊玛目在社交媒体发帖庆祝参议员林赛·格雷厄姆去世，并祝愿他“在废墟中永生”，因其支持以色列的立场引发国会山反弹。
得克萨斯州共和党众议员贝丝·范杜因计划于周三提出一项决议，正式谴责奥马尔·苏莱曼——达拉斯附近雅辛伊斯兰研究研究所的主席兼联合创始人。
“其他方面，林赛·格雷厄姆死了，”周日清晨，就在格雷厄姆去世的消息传出后不久，苏莱曼在社交媒体上写道。“再见，林赛。愿你因你在加沙制造的废墟而在废墟中永生。阿门。”

代表苏莱曼所居住的达拉斯郊区选区的范杜因表示，国会必须谴责他的煽动性言论，并提及2019年他应民主党邀请在众议院发表的开场祈祷。

乔伊·里德嘲讽媒体对林赛·格雷厄姆的哀悼，称“地狱为又一个家伙敞开了大门”
“这种自称宣扬爱而非仇恨的宗教领袖的行为必须受到谴责，”范杜因在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示。“这根本不是爱。这是堕落。”
“你真的认为——在一位刚去世的在任参议员去世后，你要因为不同意他的政治立场而诅咒他的灵魂在废墟中永生吗？”她继续说道。
格雷厄姆在国会任职数十年，是以色列对哈马斯在加沙的战争以及美国与伊朗长达数月冲突的主要倡导者。他还坚定捍卫乌克兰、台湾以及生活在专制政权下的人们。
范杜因表示，她正在与领导层讨论将她的决议提交议会表决，并希望民主党人能予以支持。
“那些曾邀请他到众议院讲坛布道的民主党人也应该谴责他，”这位得克萨斯州议员说。“我希望能得到议会里的民主党人支持，他们都不认同宗教领袖应该做出这种行为。”

苏莱曼是由前得克萨斯州民主党众议员埃迪·伯尼斯·约翰逊邀请，于2019年5月在众议院会议厅发表开场祈祷的。约翰逊于2023年去世。
据《耶路撒冷邮报》报道，尽管苏莱曼此前有过诸多争议言论，包括呼吁第三次起义——这句话被广泛解读为呼吁针对以色列和犹太人的暴力行为——以及称犹太复国主义者是“上帝的敌人”，但他还是受邀进行了祈祷。
“是对一个民族的仇恨”驱使苏莱曼发表庆祝格雷厄姆去世的言论，范杜因告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“我认为强调这一点非常重要。”

该决议指控苏莱曼“为被定罪的恐怖分子辩护”，并前往土耳其支持穆斯林兄弟会成员——该组织被禁止进入美国。
苏莱曼没有立即回应置评请求。
庆祝格雷厄姆去世的并非只有苏莱曼一人。范杜因认为，一些进步评论员和左翼活动人士的恶毒言论反映了文明对话的整体滑坡。

“言论越来越充满仇恨，”这位得克萨斯州共和党人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“呼吁暴力的行为也越来越危险。”
“这绝对已经超出了理性的范畴，”她继续说道。“而一位宗教领袖加入其中，呼吁这种行为，这太可怕了。没错，我们应该谴责这种行为。”
她的提案还强调了伊斯兰教法与宪法原则和美国生活“不相容”。
范杜因在2020年当选国会议员前曾担任得克萨斯州欧文市市长，长期以来一直警告激进伊斯兰教的蔓延以及在孤星州推广伊斯兰教法的企图。

“国会里有共和党领导人正在公开反对这一点。11年前，我感觉自己孤军奋战，”范杜因告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“他们在我的家乡，也在全国各个城市，我认为你现在看到的是民选代表站出来反对它。”
该决议还向格雷厄姆致敬，她表示格雷厄姆曾在她竞选国会期间支持她，并与她一起出席过一些筹款活动。

“当他不同意某人的观点时，他会直接告诉他们，”范杜因说。“但他从来不会以仇恨、恶意的方式，我认为我们已经失去了辩论的灵魂。我们已经失去了这个国家真正妥协的灵魂。”

Texas imam faces House condemnation after Graham’s death celebration post

FIRST ON FOX: A Texas imam invited to pray before Congress is facing backlash on Capitol Hill after celebrating Sen. Lindsey Graham’s death in a social media post that wished him “an eternity in ruins” over his support for Israel.
Rep. Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas, plans to introduce a resolution on Wednesday that would formally condemn Omar Suleiman, the president and co-founder of the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research, near Dallas.
“In other news, Lindsey Graham is dead,” Suleiman wrote on social media early Sunday morning, shortly after news broke that Graham had died. “Bye Lindsey. May you live an eternity in ruins for the ruins you helped create in Gaza. Ameen.”

Van Duyne, who represents the suburban Dallas district where Suleiman lives, said Congress must condemn his incendiary message, pointing to his 2019 opening prayer before the House, which he delivered at Democrats’ invitation.

JOY REID MOCKS MEDIA MOURNING OF LINDSEY GRAHAM, SAYS ‘HELL OPENED ITS DOORS FOR AT LEAST ONE MORE’
“This type of action from a religious leader that claims to preach about love and not hate needs to be condemned,” Van Duyne told Fox News Digital in an interview. “That was anything but love. That was depravity.”
“Is this really what you believe—that you’re going to take a sitting senator who has just died, and you’re going to condemn his soul to an eternity of ruins because you don’t agree with his politics?” she continued.
Graham, who served in Congress for decades, was a leading advocate for Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza and the United States’ months-long conflict with Iran. He was also a fierce defender of Ukraine, Taiwan and those living under authoritarian regimes.
Van Duyne said she is talking with leadership about putting her resolution on the floor and hopes Democrats will support it.
“It needs to be condemned by those Democrats who called him to the House floor to preach,” the Texas lawmaker said. “I would love to be able to get Democrats who are on the floor who don’t agree that this is the type of action that a religious leader should take.”

Suleiman was invited by former Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Texas, to deliver the opening prayer in the House chamber in May 2019. She died in 2023.
The imam was asked to perform the invocation despite a history of controversial remarks, including calling for a third Intifada — a phrase widely interpreted as calling for violence against Israel and Jews — and claiming that Zionists are “enemies of God,” the Jerusalem Post reported.
“It’s a hatred of a people” that fueled Suleiman’s remarks celebrating Graham’s death, Van Duyne told Fox News Digital. “I thought it was very important to highlight that.”

NETANYAHU DETAILS ‘FINAL’ CONVERSATION WITH LINDSEY GRAHAM, SAYS SENATOR CHALLENGED HIS PUSH TO END ISRAEL AID
The resolution alleges that Suleiman has “defended convicted terrorists” and traveled to Turkey to support members of the Muslim Brotherhood, who are banned from traveling to the United States.
Suleiman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Texas imam was not alone in celebrating Graham’s death. Van Duyne argued the vitriol from some progressive commentators and left-wing activists reflects a broader decline in civility.

“The words are getting more hateful,” the Texas Republican told Fox News Digital. “The call for violence is getting more dangerous.”
“It has absolutely gone beyond reason,” she continued. “And to have a religious leader that joins in that, that is calling for that, is horrible. And yes, we should be condemning it.”
Her measure also highlights Sharia law’s “incompatibility” with constitutional principles and American life.
Van Duyne, who served as mayor of Irving, Texas, before winning election to Congress in 2020, has long warned about the spread of radical Islam and efforts to promote Sharia law in the Lone Star State.

“There are Republican leaders in Congress who are speaking out against it. Eleven years ago, I felt like I was on my own,” Van Duyne told Fox News Digital. “They are in my hometown, and they are in cities across the country, and I think what you’re seeing is elected representatives standing up to it.”
The resolution also pays tribute to Graham, who she said supported her during her runs for Congress and appeared with her at some fundraisers.

“When he didn’t agree with somebody, he would tell them,” Van Duyne said. “But it was never in a hateful, malicious manner, and I think we have lost the soul of debate. We have lost the soul of actual compromise in this country.”
