Texas Imam Sparks Outrage After Celebrating Lindsey Graham’s Death

A Texas imam is under fire after appearing to celebrate the death of U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, writing, “May you live an eternity in ruins.”

On July 12, hours after Graham’s death was announced, Omar Suleiman, president and co-founder of the Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research, posted on social media.

“In other news, Lindsey Graham is dead,” Suleiman wrote. “Bye Lindsey. May you live an eternity in ruins for the ruins you helped create in Gaza. Ameen.” 

His remarks sparked outrage among Republican lawmakers, with U.S. Rep. Chip Roy of Texas writing on social media, “A U.S. Senator dies—and an Imam in Texas celebrates. We are at war—and only one side understands it.”

Suleiman is no stranger to members of Congress.

In 2019, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat from California, invited him to open the U.S. House in prayer. During the prayer, Suleiman was heard saying, “We pray for peace, not war. Love, not hate.”
