President Donald Trump's continued silence following the recent bombing of a mosque in a Minneapolis suburb "is an outrage," Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) said Wednesday.
The explosion at the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington, Minn., took place Saturday morning. While no one was injured after an explosive was thrown through the window of the iman's office, Mohamed Omar, the center's executive director, said Sunday: "We feel like it's much deeper and scarier than like something random," adding, "It's so scary."
Gov. Mark Dayton, for his part, called the attack "an act of terrorism," and said the damage done to "this sacred site is just unthinkable, unforgivable."
Speaking to the Associated Press, Ellison said, "The President's failure to condemn the terrorist attack on the Bloomington Islamic Center is an outrage. It suggests that his oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, including the right to equal protection under the law, only extends to people who meet certain racial and religious criteria."
