Imam Elahi thanked the Congresswoman and other guests and shared his own concerns about the catastrophic situation in the Middle East in general and Lebanon in particular.
The imam criticized the administration’s focusing on Israel’s government and the Saudi Arabia corrupt kingdom and ignoring the dignity and rights of other nations in the region devastating not only for the region but also for the image, interests and future of America in that part of the world.
