reaction from everyday Americans has been furious, with dog lovers everywhere stunned that any religion could view their beloved pets as “unclean.”
Even Kiswani felt compelled to do damage control, saying she was simply responding to a discussion about dog poop on the city’s streets and then resorting to the hackneyed “it was just a joke” defense.
“Illiterate boomers really turned my joke into a national headline,” she said.
If anyone can find the “satire” in her original post, please explain it to us, because it’s pretty clear that, in fact, devout Muslims aren’t supposed to keep dogs as pets.
The lesson here appears to be that nobody cares about radical Islam’s views on Jews, or Sharia law, or female genital mutilation, or executing gays, or terrorism, or creating no-go zones in Europe.
But attack our dogs? As Bugs Bunny would say: “Of course you realize, this means war.”
