Politicizing 'dogs' and packaging it with Islam is a suicidal move for the left and Democrats. I encourage them to really push this.

I'm actually surprised they haven't moved to transhumanism trying to convince us that people can identify as dogs.

Facts? lol. The hero of the Left went to a global conference a few days ago talking about how African slaves invented being a cowboy and that Venezuela is South of the equator.

Dogs are not being banned on the UK. Have you been lately? Outside of London dogs in public places are part of life. Every store, hotel, sidewalk, pub, restaurant… dogs are flipping everywhere.

I assume Mamdani plans to gather the dogs and deliver them to the Haitian wet markets in Ohio?

He said bubbling up with proposals to ban dogs in public parks.

He didn't say it had passed.

Right, and I am telling you it ain't happening. Want to motivate people to vote? **** with their pets.

In this political game of picking sides I'm just glad the dogs got picked for my team. They can have all of the cats and cat ladies as well as the Muslims!

I didn't say they were banned in the UK -- yet. I said proposals were bubbling up. In the Cotswolds, in Wales, in parts of London, etc., etc.

You are following the typical progressive denial pathway, from "it's not happening" to "its actually a good thing" in the span of a few years.

If you think Muslims aren't gonna push this and other elements of their culture with the full-throated support of Dem politicians, you have your head in the sand.

This could get really interesting:
Quote:

The controversy was sparked by one of Zohran Mamdani's biggest fans, and a leader of the pro-Hamas demonstrations in New York, calling for dog ownership to be banned now that Islam is on the rise in New York City.

All of this was so predictable. Islam and Western culture do not mix. It's trying to fit the proverbial square peg in a round hole. But I'm glad to see NYC residents finally get to deal with the stupidity and consequences of their choice. I hope the stress and anxiety of living under this Marxist is so unbearable that they do a 180 in four years.

That proposal to ban dogs in NYC is just a middle finger. There are going to be communities in Texas one day that blast loud noise at 4:30 am like they do in the UK. There have been 48 mosques built in Texas in the past two years and there are 62 of them in Dallas--67 in Houston. The camel's nose is already under the tent.

My small suburb just sent out a notice to expect heavy traffic at the Mosque pretty much every single day of Ramadan. Their facility is too small, little parking for the crowds they pack in.

You being serious? The UK is stricter on banning certain dog breeds and they have struggle with an abundance of dogs following COVID, the the proposals that the writer of that "article" you linked included nothing about banning dogs.

They restrict dogs in certain areas to be on leashes, not in children play areas, no ****ting on the soccer pitches and other very reasonable measures many places in the US already employ.

The Islamophobia is getting pretty thick. There is not a suicide bomber hiding in every Muslim.

Like most political drama, I expect this will pass - but it has been useful in outing some who pretend to be conservatives but misunderstand the fullness of cultural conviction that conservation requires in this period.

Obstruction of islamification is table stakes for conservatives at this point.

Don't these liberals realize that once the Muslims have 50% + 1 voters, they're gonna start throwing them off buildings?

Why are they against dogs? They have so much in common, like neither use deodorant.

I think that Muslims are going to find that pointing at something and yelling "haram!!" isn't going to work in the US all that well.

Sam Harris was right. 'we have to be able to criticize bad ideas. And Islam, at the moment, is the motherlode of bad ideas.'

I'd much rather deal with Karens parading around with little yapping dogs than a bunch of people who insist on my destruction by order of their war waging prophet who married a 6 year old and consummated that marriage only a few years later

also read Raymond Ibrahim books on the Crusades very enlightening!

Stray dogs are a problem, not pets...

Also I'd be very interested to hear if there is any noteworthy Muslim commentary saying "hey dogs are actually okay" because I haven't seen any...

There is no such thing as noteworthy muslim commentary

It's time to stop being understanding, accommodating and passive re: muslims for fear of being called some type of "….ist".

Absolutely unacceptable to have foreign born muslims in any level of government elected office, and an absolutely repugnant and insulting act to have any of them take their oath of office on the quran….

It's not islamaphibia, it's dislike pure and simple. Your closing comment is very short sighted. No, not every muslim is a suicide bomber….. but every suicide bomber is a muslim, therein lies the problem.
