RESOLUTION

Honoring the victims of the Islamic Center of San Diego shooting in San 
Diego, California, on May 18, 2026.

Whereas, on May 18, 2026, a mass shooting took place at the Islamic Center of 
San Diego, a sanctuary for peace, comfort, and worship;
Whereas children attended the Islamic Center of San Diego to learn and were 
instead forced to flee for their lives, traumatized by gunmen acting out 
of violence and hatred;
Whereas Amin Abdullah, the Islamic Center of San Diego's security guard, 
confronted the gunmen and gave his life to save others;
Whereas Abul Izz was the heart and soul of the mosque for nearly 40 years and 
treated every child at the mosque as his own;
Whereas Nader Awad was devoted to the Clairemont community and gave his life 
shielding others from the gunmen;
Whereas this shooting took place on a holy day in the final and sacred month of 
the Islamic year, days before the major Muslim holiday, Eid al-Adha;
Whereas Congress has the power and responsibility to condemn acts of violence 
against Muslims; and
Whereas the refusal to enact substantial legislation has caused the rise of 
Islamophobic, anti-Muslim sentiment, and hatred of all kinds: Now, 
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) recognizes, remembers, and honors the memory of the 
victims murdered in the Islamic Center of San Diego shooting in 
San Diego, California, including Amin Abdullah, Mansour ``Abul 
Izz'' Kazhia, and Nader Awad;
(2) offers heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies for 
the families, loved ones, and friends of such victims;
(3) expresses the continual support to those affected and 
marked by this act of domestic terrorism;
(4) recognizes and honors the resilience of the Muslim 
community;
(5) condemns Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hate; and
(6) stands together with all people of the United States, 
regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual 
orientation, gender identity, or political affiliation, in the 
face of terror and hate.
