Immam Damrah cleared to lead prayers amid mosque dispute

A Cuyahoga County judge approved an agreement allowing Imam Fawaz Mohammed Damrah to conduct Friday and Sunday prayers at the Islamic Center of Cleveland while leaders push to bar him from spiritual duties. Damrah, 41, faces a citizenship fraud indictment tied to alleged ties to groups including Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The pact restricts him to religious content and requires him to leave the mosque after services, with the potential for further charges if the agreement is breached. Mosque factions clash over his presence as thousands prepare for the Feast of Sacrifice weekend.
