House Democrats Honor an Anti-Zionist Imam

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

Yesterday’s session of the U.S. House of Representatives was opened with a prayer by an imam with a history of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel sentiments. The question occurs:  Was he honored with this extraordinary public platform out of ignorance of his record, or because of it?

To be sure, the prayer offered by Imam Omar Suleiman did not speak of his hatred for Jews and Israel. Still, a search of his social media posts would have revealed such statements as “The Zionists are the enemies of God, His Messengers, sincere followers of all religions, and humanity as a whole.”

Who decided to honor a man with documented sympathies for the terrorist organization known as the Muslim Brotherhood and its Jew-hating agenda?  And, if Speaker Nancy Pelosi – who presided as Imam Suleiman prayed – doesn’t share them, she needs to make that clear at once.
