‘Zionists frothing at the mouth’: Activist demands NYC ban dogs indoors because they’re un-Islamic

When New York City voters elected a mayor, Zohran Mamdani, whose beliefs are closer to communism than anything in the free world, there was speculation about how long it would take for his Muslim ideologies, and those who share his beliefs, to begin bullying others.

Not long, it turns out.

That’s because a noted Palestinian activist now, in New York City, is calling for dogs to be banned as “indoor pets” because they are un-Islamic.

Radical activist Nerdeen Kiswani unleashed a statement that dogs have a “place in society” but “not as indoor pets.”

Finally, NYC is coming to Islam. Dogs definitely have a place in society, just not as indoor pets. Like we’ve said all along, they are unclean.

BREAKING: The leader of the pro-Palestinian movement and protests in New York, Nerdeen Kiswani, is now calling for a ban on dogs as pets in the city. Dogs are considered haram in Islam.

Social media responded with, “My dog is cleaner that (sic) Nerdeen Kiswani!” and “Who knew that Mamdani winning the election would embolden all the extremists?”

Later, she tried to claim her demands were all a “joke.”

“[Laughing] at the Zionists frothing at the mouth at this, thinking they’re doing something,” she claimed. “It’s obviously a joke I don’t care if you have a dog, I do care if your dog is s***ting everywhere and you’re not cleaning it. Also clearly trying to weigh in on an issue unaware of the current NYC discourse where we’re collectively (jokingly) hating on dogs given all the visible dog s**t in the unmelted snow.”

A report at the Daily Mail said Kiswani established her “notorious” reputation by leading anti-Israel protests in New York City under her group, Within Our Lifetime.

That group, like Iran and Hamas, has called for the elimination of Israel.

And she’s suggested the October 7, 2023, invasion of Israel by Hamas militants, in which 1,400 Israelis were slaughtered and hundreds more kidnapped, was justified, the report said.

Her antagonism to peace in the Middle East dates back years, as she said it was a “natural response” to Israel when in 2014 the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine shot and killed four worshippers in a Jerusalem synagogue.
