“As the grandson of a Methodist preacher, and I would also add, whose wife--my grandmother--was a missionary, I am proud to rise today to present H. Res. 1090, recognizing Islam as one of the great religions of the world. I am proud to acknowledge that this resolution was introduced on August 21, 2020, with three original cosponsors: The honorable Rashida Tlaib, the honorable Ilhan Omar, and my friend who is with me today, the honorable Andre Carson. I will say much more about the resolution, but I do want to at this time acknowledge my friend who's present from the Seventh Congressional District of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Carson), a wordsmith par excellence.”
