The imam who was invited by Democrats to give the opening invocation in Congress has a long history of promoting an anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian rhetoric.
Imam Omar Suleiman, 33, a popular Imam from Texas and founder of Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research, was invited by Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas) to deliver the opening prayer for Ramadan on the House floor on May 9, according to a statement from the institute.
