Music, drink, dance, pork, and dogs — five outrages of Islamists
American Thinker ^ | 5 Jan, 2026 | Eric Utter

Places run by these kinds of Muslims are dark, backward places. Don't let it happen here.

Palmer’s, a bar on Minneapolis’ West Bank, has been a fixture of the community it has served for 119 years. Locals even called it “the heart of the city” because it brought people together. It has now been permanently closed. It is to become a mosque.

Islamist ideology bans alcohol, music, and dancing. Pork and dogs are considered dirty and are frowned upon at best.

It is no wonder that most countries that are in the thrall of Islamism, and are populated by these kinds of Muslims are dark places that have not evolved much from the 7th or 8th centuries.

Traditionally, we in the West have proposed a toast to those we love, to honor someone, to recognize or enshrine a memory, or to acknowledge the passing of a loved one — or of time.

Usually with a beverage containing alcohol. We may drink to someone's memory, or to a principle with which we agree.

Music is the soundtrack of civilization.

We dance to express joy or to bond with another.

Pork is tasty and perhaps a healthier choice than red meat.

Dogs have evolved along with human beings, and, for some, truly are their best friends.

It is no accident that Islamist terrorists often target nightclubs and concert venues.

In parts of the West, particularly those areas populated with a high percentage of Islamists, bars and taverns are going away, and dance floors are shrinking or disappearing altogether. In certain locales, these kinds of Muslims have requested that stores remove pork from their shelves. In others, people have been asked to keep their dogs out of the sight of nearby Muslims.

“Palmer’s, a bar on Minneapolis’ West Bank, has been a fixture of the community it has served for 119 years. Locals even called it “the heart of the city” because it brought people together. It has now been permanently closed. It is to become a mosque.”

I lived in a dorm on the Univ of Minnesota’s West Bank back in the early to mid 80’s. Palmer’s Bar was about two blocks from my dorm as was the cedar-Riverside neighborhood. Back then, the area was full of college kids, people who liked urban living as well as a considerable number of leftovers from the 1960’s. The area was authentic.

Now that area is pretty much lock stock and barrel a Muslim zone. The last time I was there, it was dirty and creepy. Almost every business there is now Somali-owned. Contrary to what the Somali mouthpieces and white liberals tell you, it is an area of growing crime - especially caused by Somali gangs. A strong majority of families in that area collect welfare.

When Obama made the quote of wanting to make America look like the rest of the world, he certainly and unfortunately has succeeded in doing this in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood.

Actually, Muslims hate dogs because the angel of Allah was going to visit Mohammed and didn't show. Mohammed asked him why and he said because he had a black dog in the house. So originally they hated black dogs and it grew to all dogs. Although, like most things, they exempt the ones they really like, like Afghan Hounds.

This leads me to suspect that it was not Allah's angel that was visiting Mohammed but rather a demon sent by Satan to mislead him. Legend has it that it was one of demons that Christ cast out (Matthew 8:28–34, Mark 5:1–20, Luke 8:26–39) of the Gadarene swine that survived.

My dog is my best friend. She follows me everywhere, doesn’t complain, brings warmth and companionship, and most of all, has the most loving eyes.

It’s time we start opening pet friendly barbecues with pulled pork and a fully stocked bar. And let’s not forget the dance floor!

They use “unclean” as an excuse.

Exactly. The folks calling dogs unclean are the very same motards that would fornicate with a goat or camel.

"...Music, drink, dance, pork, and dogs..."

I don't know-that sounds a good American time, all those things rolled into one! No wonder they hate us!

It sounds funnier and more revealing of the Islamist's true nature if that is turned around...

Instead of:

"Music, drink, dance, pork, and dogs — five outrages of Islamists"

We turn it around and word it as:

"No Music, No Drinking, No Dancing, No Barbeque, and No Dogs — five outrages of American Rednecks"!

If I have to choose a society to live in based on these two points of view...it won't be a contest!

The Romans used flocks of geese as well as dogs.

As for the list... I LOVE my music, I do have an occasional drink, I don’t dance (not that I don’t believe in it but my dancing would be a crime against humanity) , I don’t eat pork (I’m a Messianic Christian and follow Kosher dietary laws), and I wouldn’t mind a dog If the charge for having a pet in the house I rent wasn’t so darned expensive.

I wouldn’t put to much stock in that website. One of the verses it cites in support of its position is Philemon 3.2 - there is no Philemon 3.2

A Muslim is only as far from uncleanliness as their left hand.

In the book of Tobit (considered part of the Old Testament by the Catholic Church and by the Eastern churches), a dog is mentioned in a positive way. In 6.1, the dog follows Tobiah (Tobias), the son of Tobit, as he starts on his journey, and the dog is mentioned again in the return journey (11.4): “And the dog ran along behind them.”

Thanks - I did not know that! Think I’ll stick with a dog or two though. ;-)
