After an interfaith prayer in Congress for victims of recent terror attacks against Muslims, Jews, and Christians, Imam Omar Suleiman was attacked by pro-Israel politicians and media outlets.
Imam Omar Suleiman, an American Muslim scholar, has responded defiantly amid a campaign targeting him as an anti-Semite.
The Palestinian American became the focus of intense criticism by pro-Israeli politicians and groups after conducting prayer in Congress at the invitation of Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "Let us not be deterred by the hatred that has claimed the lives of innocent worshippers across the world, but emboldened by the love that gathered them together to remember you, and gathered us together to remember them," Suleiman said in the prayer, referring to recent attacks on Jewish worshippers in the US city of Pittsburgh, Christian worshippers in Sri Lanka, and Muslims praying at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand.
The sentiment was lost on many Republicans and pro-Israel figures who began attacking the civil rights activist for his past criticism of Israel, and an array of US and Israeli media outlets accused Suleiman ofOthers accused him of being a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, an accusation he said was meant to make him appear “particularly scary”.
Republican representative, Lee Zeldin, was a particularly enthusiastic participant in the campaign, labeling Suleiman a 'radical imam'.- with a long track record of interfaith work, speaks in Congress & offers a beautiful prayer, calling for love & unity.
