Thank you, Qasim. Here we go again with the anti-Muslim hate speech and threats. It’s always the same. As an immigrant to this country myself, I am sick of the noxious bigotry and Islamophobia. Heaps of shame on Laura Loomer and Brandon Gill. Loony Laura is a lost cause, but Gill must be censured by the House or even better, ejected altogether. (Not holding my breath.)

Qasim, I appreciate your work so much. Just upgraded to Paid! ✌🏼 Sending hugs to you and your family. Please stay safe.

Firstly let me apologize for all of the ignorant people out there. I hope they don’t think they are Christians. Secondly only people uneducated or live in their own reality believe this and are anti Muslim. Please know it is not a majority of people. Maybe Islam should be taught in schools. 🙏

I’ll always support you Qasim. I’m sorry you’re getting so much hate spewing your way. All my Muslim friends (mostly my fellow nurses) are kind, giving, caring and beautiful people. Just trying to live their lives. As are you. Keep being you! We are here for you!

You're aware of the Noahide laws, Qasim? And their multitudinous sub-laws? Muslims and Christians and all gentiles are goyim under these laws. We will all ultimately be dealt with as animals. It's a sobering prospect of the future. These white Christian bigots are paving the way to violence against Muslims and, by the same token, against themselves, if they but realised it. They will never be assimilated into the supremacist race, but are serving simply as useful idiots.

What can I as a single person do? I live near a fairly large Muslim population. They are Somali. They stay very separated. How do I reach out and how do I help? How do I let them know I’m safe? They have been in the large town about 15 miles away from me for many years. I engage when they’re working like at target and stuff. I always engage. I say hello because when I’m in a new place I appreciate a smile or a hello. I’m doing the things that make me feel comfortable.

This has been difficult to read and even more difficult to comprehend this level of hatred. When it was coming from fringe groups, I could avoid it. When it comes from our government, we must respond or be complicit. Qasim, please keep doing what you do and help us find ways to address this. Peace, brother.

I agree with everything you said. And also, now that they're seeing how unpopular this war really is, Rubio and others in the government are trying to blame it on the Jews.

Horrifying hatred and religious delusion are running our government. These nut-jobs seek an apocalypse- which should be protested by every American with a functioning brain!

Nearly a third of Muslims in America are Black descendants of slavery. Men and women whose ancestry predates that of the entire Trump family (and many White people here) by generations. Muslims have been here since the country's founding.

Much of what you have highlighted strikes me as the projection of people who, if given the opportunity would act out what they claim to hate - authoritarian religious oppression, the systematic denigration of women (even women the likes of Loomer and Mace would work to subjugate women unlike themselves) engaging in tribal style mutual destruction, expressing hate which is based on baseless fear.

I see far too few headlines like this. The mainstream media is solely focused on antisemitism. It's really two sides of the same coin. Israel is a driver for antisemitism when they conflate jewism and zionism. And we see anti-muslim propaganda by the TacoDon regime and many republicans. So when they see Iran retaliate, it's even easier for them to paint the muslims as villains.

Blessings upon you, Qasim. These haters are weak and ignorant (about both Islam and Christianity). People of love and peace from all religions and no religion walk together in these awful times. I hold you in my prayers.

Great. What we don’t need as another round of Islamophobia due to another stupid Middle Eastern war.

I thought about you, Qasim, and other Muslims I know when I read some of those comments. Isn't hatred of all kinds the same--"othering" people when you really know nothing about them. All of these wild accusations about Iran's violence and "planned upcoming attacks" flying around, and, somehow, I just saw Iran sitting there doing nothing. (Meanwhile, Israel has been Ceasefire-bombing Gaza, bombing Lebanon, Syria.) I guess I just use my own eyes. I only hope this ends soon before more innocent people are hurt to sate the bloodthirsty.
