Of Marxists, Muslims, And Dogs

 

New York City is going to the dogs, courtesy of Marxist Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Which is ironic as Muslims are not dog lovers. In fact, in response to a news item about two grocery stores removing people with dogs, Muslim anti-Israel activist Nerdeen Kiswani recently tweeted: “Finally, NYC is coming to Islam.” She added that dogs “are unclean.” She later claimed her remarks were a “joke.” That pathetic attempt at backpedaling was the real joke, and a bad one.

Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) responded to Kiswani’s tweet with one of his own, stating: “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.” If they force us to choose, as has been increasingly the case, Fine says we will opt to keep our dogs. He didn’t berate Muslims or suggest any action whatsoever. That is a perfectly reasonable observation and sentiment.

British-Egyptian preacher Muhammad Hijab (!) was not so sanguine or gentle, recently warning British police, “When those Zionists come in with their dogs, that was an act of provocation. So what we’re saying now, and I’m making it very clear so everyone understands, if those dogs come close to us again, we will see it as an act of aggression, and we will kill those dogs.”

You come into our country, luxuriate in our largesse and tolerance, and want to tell us we can no longer own or walk our dogs? And that you would kill our beloved pets, that most of us see as family members, if we don’t go out of our way to hide them from you? You are barking up the wrong tree, Muhammad. 

Dogs have graced my life—and the lives of my family and friends—immensely. And none of them flew planes into the World Trade Center, nor operated fraudulent “Learing Centers.” Moreover, not a one of them attempted to convert, enslave, or kill me.

Dogs comfort us, protect us, love us, amuse us, and are far more loyal than most humans, Muslim or not. And less judgmental, for good and bad, LOL. When we return home after leaving them for just hours, they greet us at the door and act like we have been gone for months. They happily accompany us wherever we go, inspiringly curious all the while. They retrieve our game and chase the balls we throw, and it’s often unclear who enjoys this more. A few are actually our best friends. Pure souls. And truest companions.

So, no, I am not outraged like many Democrats at Fine’s remark. If dogs were allowed to vote and Muslims were not, Democrats would be importing dogs from around the world (and bribing them with free treats) and deporting Muslims with astounding rapidity.

So here’s to you Duke, Kita, Agnes, Sky, Patches, Tippy, Elkie, Max, and Bella, et. al. I hold my beer high in your names and toast to your memories. You enriched my life. Hope I enriched yours.
