Nearly two weeks after a local Northern Virginia Mosque, Dar Al-Hijrah, was attacked with Molotov cocktails and a hoax bomb, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) will show her solidarity and support for the American Muslim community by joining Members of Congress in participating in prayer services today, Friday, December 4, 2015, at Dar Al-Hijrah (159 Row Street, Falls Church, VA), at 12:15 p.m. The rising tide of Islamophobia in our nation is deeply disturbing and must be taken on, Norton said. Americans of every religion and background have a moral obligation to find their own way to support our Muslim brothers and sisters here in this region and across the country. Today, this is our way. Members of Congress will join Imam Johari Abdul-Malik to speak with reporters and the public after the service at 1:00 p.m. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
