                               RESOLUTION

 
 Condemning Omar Suleiman for celebrating the death of Senator Lindsey 
 Graham and acknowledging that House Democrats invited him to serve as 
    the Guest Chaplain of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2019.

Whereas, on July 11, 2026, Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina passed away 
        after a brief and sudden illness;
Whereas Senator Graham dedicated his life to public service as a legislator and 
        military officer;
Whereas Senator Graham established himself as a leader in American foreign 
        policy and national security;
Whereas Senator Graham was one of the foremost proponents of a strong Israel;
Whereas, on July 12, 2026, just hours after Senator Graham passed away, Omar 
        Suleiman publicly celebrated the death of Senator Graham and stated his 
        wish that Senator Graham ``live an eternity in ruins'';
Whereas Omar Suleiman is the Founder and President of the Yaqeen Institute for 
        Islamic Research in Irving, Texas;
Whereas Omar Suleiman has defended convicted terrorists, called for a third 
        Intifada, and has traveled to Turkey to support Muslim Brotherhood 
        leaders who are banned from entering the United States;
Whereas, on May 9, 2019, House Democrats invited Omar Suleiman to deliver the 
        invocation at the opening of the U.S. House of Representatives as a 
        Guest Chaplain; and
Whereas, in December 2025, House Republicans established the Sharia-Free America 
        Caucus to safeguard fundamental constitutional principles of freedom of 
        speech, freedom of religion, and equal protection under the law from an 
        oppressive ideology that is incompatible with the American way of life: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) honors the public service of Senator Lindsey Graham;
            (2) expresses gratitude to Senator Graham for his 
        commitment to advance America's foreign policy and national 
        security;
            (3) recognizes Senator Graham's role in strengthening the 
        relationship between the United States and Israel;
            (4) condemns the statement of Omar Suleiman celebrating the 
        death of Senator Graham; and
            (5) supports the work of House Republicans in raising 
        awareness about the dangers of Sharia Law and its 
        incompatibility with American legal principles, constitutional 
        governance, and individual liberty.
