If the Islamic PR machine was trying to win Americans over, it just shot itself in both feet, its knees, and most of its left hand.
And it's all thanks to dogs.
But first, a story.
A long time ago, I was asked if I would kill a person to save my dog's life. The question was supposed to be a "gotcha" during an argument about abortion and how much I actually cherish human life. It was supposed to trip me up, but I answered it with brute force, which I don't think the opposition expected.
I told them that if anyone was trying to kill my dog, I would kill them first with an honest-to-God smile on my face. It's not human, but it is a member of my family. It's not my child in the human sense, but I love it dearly and take care of it as if it were one. If you're trying to kill my dog, I'm not going to stop and consider your value as a living person. I'm not going to try to stop and reason with you out of respect for the fact that you're Imago Dei just like me. I'm going to send you to God and let Him explain why I chose the animal.
It comes down to threat assessment. To be honest, if I suddenly found you in my house trying to steal mere things, I'd kill you over that, too. You might not be there to hurt my family or me, but you had the temerity to break into my home, and now that you've trespassed, and I don't know what your intent is, I'm not going to take the chance of asking for clarification. You're posing a threat to my home, and that's all the green light I need.
Now, if you're posing a threat to my dog, both a member of the family and my living property, you've just crossed two lines at the same time. Even if you're outside of my property, you're cooked.
I'd explain this to you, but I don't think I have to. The sentiment and attitude I just described to you is a general American trait. We love our dogs. They're as much a part of our American culture as guns are, only we never had a situation where anyone made it necessary for us to put the right to have a K-9 best friend in the Constitution... till now.
As Rep. Randy Fine (R-06) recently noted, now that NYC has Islamic leadership, the calls for big changes from Islamic activist circles are going out, and among them is the call to ban dogs. Nerdeen Kiswani, director of "Within Our Lifetime," a pro-Palestine group that endorsed Zohran Mamdani for mayor, said that now is the time to ban dogs and "not just as indoor pets," because in Islam, dogs are considered unclean.
Fine's response was clear and unsympathetic:
If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.

Naturally, this sent the left spiraling with accusations of Islamophobia. Fine only buckled down, but hilariously, the response to Current Report, a South Asian account that appears to be highly anti-Israel, said Fine "insulted nearly 2 billion Muslims worldwide." The report was met with great applause for Fine.

If Muslim takeovers require dogs to suddenly disappear, then you can bet there will be a sudden shift in support for anyone representing Islam. We're a country where dogs are beloved pets for most, and labeled as actual children by many. They're referred to as "fur babies," and dogs are such a huge part of American culture that billion-dollar industries exist that cater specifically to feeding, grooming, and playing with them.
In this modern age, many men and women opt to have a dog over a child, and those who can't have children consider their dogs to be the next best thing.
I triple-dog-dare Mamdani to try to ban dogs. I quadruple-dog-dare Muslim groups to make banning dogs one of their top issues.
If they did, you'd watch the term "Islamophobia" disappear overnight, and you'd even hear the term be laughed off the stage by a large sect of AWFLs. The sympathy for pro-Palestinian causes would evaporate like a small puddle on a hot day.
I don't have to guess here. America would choose man's best friend over the religion that makes an enemy of everyone in the space of a bark.
