Of course you must live under the constant pressure to contribute to justice! It’s why we are lawyers. As Dr king said it: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied to a single garment of destiny.”

Qasim, I proudly join this jihad in the spirit of my departed father for the preservation of humanity. The stakes are too high; failure is not an option.

If I get hired this week to work again, you and a few others on Substack will get my support. I used to be quite active in supporting writers on the side of good, but I am too poor at the moment. I appreciate you sharing your work without charge because I understand it’s a lot of effort and hard work (I used to write for PoliticusUSA once a week). Thank you!

It is really hard to believe - or tolerate - that you are being threatened . But again unsurprisingly this is what happens when unintelligent people who are supporting the dictator who has created the illusion that he is ‘the greatest’ leader that America has ever known. All the while he and his equally corrupt regime seek to destroy everything - he cannot , will NOT tolerate anything or one who might expose his as a the biggest fraud the American people have ever known. So his minions will seek to destroy or hurt you . Remove you - as you pose a threat to the illusion they have created . Be safe .

Don't Stop Me Now - TLawrence's avatar

Thank you Qasun for this timely post. I have been struggling with whether to continue to write because I do not have a large following, and only one paid subscriber. The addition daily of celebrities allows for less time for the viewing of those of us who want to have a voice, but don't have that following. Your sentence "My father taught me that the most powerful form of Jihad is the Jihad of the Pen." As an older person who has always been involved with community and trying to fight for what is right I have not been able lately to physically march and contribute as I once used to. I though writing was the way I could contribute since it's how I've made my living for the last 30 years. He was right, the pen is mightier than the sword. Continue your journey and I will too.

This is a different subject, but when I was still on Facebook, I remember when your sweet daughter was a toddler. I just wanted to say that I hope she's getting the health care that she needs and deserves. Good wishes to you and your family, Qasim.
