Qasim, I so appreciate your being a fellow American with all the characteristics of your life - learning, growing, caring, serving and teaching - with heart and courage as you do. It restores my faith in America to know we are in this nations lifeblood together. Hooray 🗽🎉
I can clearly see you in the 10 year old! Still cute after all these years--none of it wore off!!! You do beautiful work, Qasim, and you are very brave. 💙
I am so grateful for you and your work and that you chose to become an American citizen. Your work is so valuable and you are making quite a difference. Blessings!
Your story makes me think about students who were in a middle school where I taught. Many were Muslim immigrants and their parents were probably waiting to go through asylum. This was 20 years ago and I think immigrants were better accepted than now. I cannot imagine what families of immigrants go through to become citizens here, in this once great country.
Proud to have you as a fellow American citizen!
Congratulations on your citizenship anniversary, Qasim!
Happy anniversary Qasim!!! Congratulations on all you have accomplished, and I look forward to all that comes next!
Qasim, you honor all of humanity with your life, voice and work. Thank you.
Humbly, Em

I intend to stand against the culture wars that are attempting to divide us, and will engage with your writing as often as possible.
34 years, you say? A fine number, and am looking forward to many more to come.
Qasim, I'm so glad you are here.
It’s a good thing that you decided to become a citizen.

Thank you for all your good work!
Mazel Tov! Your support for the dispossessed, here and abroad (and particularly in Gaza-West Bank) is an inspiration.

This country is far better off for having you here. Thank you for fighting for freedom and justice for all people.
