I am truly sorry that subscribers have done this to YOU, one of the most humane people I have "met." By your words and actions as a human rights lawyer, I assume that's why they came to your Substack in the first place. You have stood against anti-semitism, as well as for the rights of Muslims, .... so it is confusing and maddening to me, to see people so ignorant of what justice is. I do not have the money to give a subscription, but I will continue to be with you now and forever. Thank you Qasim
I'm so sorry some people have no tolerance for truth. I'm quite astounded by those who feel personal attacks will somehow achieve something, they will not. So many of the comments I see are from people who have no idea what they're talking about nor any idea what is actually written in the Constitution, what use of force laws are, etc., they just want to rant. It's a shame because instead of bitching and being wrong, the lazy dirtbags could simply google the correct information and at least make an argument based in fact. One of the most prevalent is the assertion that the Constitution only applies to citizens, and the outrage is both stupid and ridiculous at the same time. Incredibly stupid and ridiculous because the correct information is so easily available. Please hang in there Qasim, there are more of us than there are of them and they don't know what they're ranting about. Thanks for your work, I appreciate you.
Heartbreaking - too many cannot and will acknowledge the truth - especially if it doesn't make their own part in this history be less than self-affirming....we all need to take a hard look - where we look away - and how that act is participation and too often makes us complicit
I still support you! And I started to place an order on your wife's page but remembered it was the first day of the economic blackout...I will go back next week. Thank you for all that you do!
With that piece of data, I'm now in even greater company! Apparently, not all truths are digestible for some. May Allah bless you with a double portion of subscribers. Just remember: peaks and valleys. Keep showing up to do the work of spreading and advocating for justice as you are called to do. Do that, and everything else will take care of itself. I believe that with every fiber of my being.
I am 81 and my budget is too stretched. But I read you and agree with you and am HORRIFIED that Islamophobia is so on the rise, and affecting you. If I get a budget break you are next in line to support
I love that your focus is on Universal Human Rights!!! For those who say they are defending democracy I have two questions: What do you mean by "democracy?" And, why? Because, in my mind, the only reason to want democracy, real democracy, is to achieve Universal Human Rights.
Firstly, good on you for accruing more than 400 paid subscribers in the first place. Second, I’m baffled that these folks apparently subscribed without knowing what you are about.
I sent you my granddaughters email address as I said I would. All I ask is that you take the monthly bill from my account because im paying for her. She has a child and works but can’t afford anything extra but she will post on Instagram and I post everything on Facebook so we got you covered.😁

Qasim,
You don’t need subscribers that state things like “Fuck Islam”. I say, good riddance!
I will continue to subscribe to you, as you are a voice of reason and truth. That is why you retain almost all of your subscribers.
Those of you who are reading this, and have not yet subscribed, I urge you to do so.

Just gifted a subscription to a friend. Thank you, Qasim!
It might be useful if more people were aware of this document which looks carefully at what is and is not antisemitism

I keep getting a message you cannot change your subscription in the app?

You are fine. Your stack is fine. Your views are righteous. Some of your remaining free subscribers just cannot pay, but may be warriors, nonetheless.
I’m with you for the long haul. You tell the truth, whether it’s comfortable or not. Thank you!

Yes, well said, Eric. Thank you.
I upgraded.
You're the best, Kimberly ❤️✊🏽
