Israel embedded its spies inside Iran, activated them to attack Iran—and Israel gets praised as a military genius. The White House lies that Iran has embedded "Islamic terrorists sleeper cells" in the United States—and Iranians & Muslims get demonized. Grotesque & racist double standards.

We’re only ~150 subscribers from hitting our first 1000 subs on my new platform, Islam Today. I am building this to combat anti-Muslim bigotry & Islamophobia. As this Trump regime goes into overdrive on both, I’d love your support. (Btw, no paywall, ever)❤️✊🏽 islamtoday.substack.com/subscribe

In, 2025 “Iran has nukes” is the 2003 “Iraq has WMDs.” Don't let them get away with this dangerous racist propaganda. As corporate media again capitulates to war hawks, here’s how we uphold justice, counter anti-Muslim hate, and demand accountability. www.qasimrashid.com/p/same-lies-...

The “Iran has nukes” lie in 2025 is the “Iraq has WMDs" lie of 2003. And corporate media is piling on for clicks. But there's one big difference in 2025! Now—we have independent platforms to reject this racist and dangerous propaganda. Here’s how we take action: www.qasimrashid.com/p/same-lies-...

Some things are hard to look at. But looking’s the first step in resistance.

This and the anti-Mamdani stuff are related.

Republican Warmongers.

In "Same Lies, Different Country" @qasimrashid.com describes how Trump is repeating Bush's snipe hunt for WMDs. Meanwhile the White House puts out tropes so Americans will fear 'brown people in sleeper cells' while the biggest terror threat is white supremacists. open.substack.com/pub/qasimras...

"If history teaches us anything, it’s this: when war crimes go unpunished, they escalate. When disinformation goes unchallenged, it metastasizes. And when minorities (in this case Muslims) are scapegoated, violence spreads."

On Episode 176 I interview Ana María Archila—NY Working Families Party Director—to discuss Zohran Mamdani for NYC Mayor. Mamdani was polling at just 1% three months ago, and now he is in a viable position to win—how did this happen? (Remember to Rank Mamdani #1) www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-qasim-...

This ⬇️

How it started. How it’s going.

ICE is literally beating and kidnapping Americans in the streets and disappearing them to gulags in other countries but yeah, let's instead demonize the Iranian American and American Muslim communities with good old "sleeper cell" fear mongering to distract from Trump's illegal war with Iran.

if iran had this capacity they wouldn’t jeopardize it by making threats about it lol. this is obvious consent-manufacturing with a nice lead-in for further crackdowns against protesters on top

Of course the US administration is using the same playbook from over two decades ago. I will NEVER forgive Biden for enabling the Iraq war and for not throwing the current cast of clowns into prison where they belong.

2004 Iraq: Islamic extremists invade US, join sleeper cells 2025 Iran: Islamic extremists invade US, join sleeper cells Please don't buy into this anti-Muslim propaganda. It is racist & dangerous. Keep the focus on the facts: Trump violated the US constitution & must be held accountable. Period

As we see Trump attack Iran in violation of Constitutional law and Democratic leadership respond by writing groveling and impotent tweets, I'm reminded why someone described Republicans as the Uvalde shooter and Democrats as the cops who waited outside and did nothing. Smh.

The anti-Muslim demonization is already starting. On Islam Today, I wrote about the humanitarian rules of war that Prophet Muhammad (sa) established—rules that if all parties adopt, can ensure no civilian is harmed, and war ends quickly and permanently. islamtoday.substack.com/p/prophet-mu...

I've been saying this for years!!!

While we still have more immediate domestic issues to resolve, here's @qasimrashid.com, suggesting some real steps citizens can take against the Iran matter. We suggest you consider Mr. Rashid's suggestions while you act to defend Medicare, Social Security, immigrant rights and voting rights.

"The U.S. has unilaterally bombed a sovereign nation of 92 million people, with zero authorization from Congress, no declaration of war, and no legitimate justification under international law. This is not defense. This is a deliberate act of aggression"

Absolutely feckless and cowardly. The man violated the constitution and risks global war and the best you can do is a strongly worded tweet. Your cowardice makes you complicit. This is so pathetic.

The inability of democrats to get out of their own way is I’ll be forever insane

Dems are sure doing a bang up job of attracting new/first time voters. Instead of offering an antidote to voter apathy, they opt for fueling it. FFS.

Meanwhile ,known champion of women's rights Bill Clinton has endorsed Andrew Cuomo, fellow known champion of women's rights. /s We live in the stupidest timeline.

Six months later: this is what the eggs cost 😒😞

“The U.S. has unilaterally bombed a sovereign nation of 92 million people, with zero authorization from Congress, no declaration of war, and no legitimate justification under international law.” Let’s be clear about what this means: The military will NOT stand up to Trump’s illegal orders.

Trump has bombed a sovereign nation with zero authorization from Congress, no declaration of war, & no legitimate justification under US or Int’l law. This is not defense—it is deliberate aggression. Here’s how to demand Congress pass the anti-war resolution. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-united...

Exactly.

The same people who claim they oppose fair taxation of the super wealthy because “no one is entitled to other people’s money” have no hesitation to wage a corrupt war for oil and power fought by other people’s children. Their hoarding of wealth is more precious to them than us holding our children.

This could have been prevented if the journalist Hegseth accidentally added to the Signal chat coordinating this attack had spoken up earlier in the week.

Incredible side-by-side headlines. Great work Pakistan. 😐

Today in particular I’m just so glad Merrick Garland prioritized “norms” over the U.S. constitution, our republic, and any hope of saving our democracy. Otherwise we might have run the risk of a functioning government. I hope Garland knows that—along with Mitch—cowardice will always be his legacy.

BREAKING: Trump has announced that moments ago the United States has attacked 3 nuclear sites in Iran, specifically Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. The vile hypocrisy of this fascist to break the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 despite Iran’s compliance, and now to attack Iran without reason in 2025.

I'm no psychic but I'll bet one reason the Democratic Party has 26% approval is because while Establishment Dems remind everyone that Trump is a 27X credibly accused sexual abuser & thus unfit for office, they're lining up behind 13X credibly accused sexual abuser Andrew Cuomo for Mayor. #Hypocrisy

New data from CATO, a right leaning think tank, confirms that only 6.9% of the 204K immigrants ICE arrested are violent, 93% have no violent convictions, & 65% have no convictions, period. Over the past year those violent crimes resulted in ~30 deaths, which I agree is 30 too many. Meanwhile— 1/2

Btw...just 24 hours into launching Islam Today, we're only 300 subscribers from our first 1000 subs. Whether you sub for free or as a paid sub, would love to have you be among our first 1000 subs: islamtoday.substack.com/subscribe

Here's an idea. Dem Governors & Mayors should be ordering their local law enforcement to arrest any & all unidentified and masked alleged ICE agents. If a random guy in a mask grabbed someone and threw them in a vehicle, we'd call that a kidnapping. Why not here? 1/2
