Fawaz Damra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fawaz Damra (Arabic: فواز دمرا, Fawwāz Damra) is an imam who lived near Cleveland, Ohio. He was deported and had his United States citizenship stripped for lying to immigration officials while obtaining that citizenship. Prior to this, he was tried and found innocent on three separate charges, finding this fourth charge increasingly suspicious of foul play.
The Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement reported that Damra was delivered to Israeli security agents at a West Bank crossing controlled by Israel.
On January 26, 2007 the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that Fawaz Damra had been released from an Israeli prison after three weeks in custody and returned to the West Bank where he was staying with family. Throughout his time in Cleveland, many people converted to Islam each week under him.
