WASHINGTON (TNND) — Florida GOP Rep. Randy Fine faced backlash over the weekend for a post on X where he implied dogs were preferable to Muslims.

“If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one,” Fine wrote on X Sunday evening.

He added context in a second post where he shared a screenshot of a tweet that reads, “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.”

Lots of embedded tweets at the original article. Looks like Fine is honking off all the right people.

Well here’s some backlash to the backlash.

Randy Fine is 100% correct. I’d choose dogs over Muslims any day. Dogs have a place in this country. Muslims do not.

I love dogs, terribly allergic, but I would prefer them to a political system that wants to force me to have facial hair and not eat bacon or ham. Mo-ham-head, Prosciutto be upon him. allar fubar.

Trying to remember the last time radical dogs hijacked jetliners and crashed them into tall buildings killing 3,000 plus people.

Or claim they are superior to Jews or Christians.

Yeah, give me the pups.

The people who are complaining are ignorant of the news.

This guy is simply responding to a news article from last week:

Famous Palestinian activist 'jokes' that dogs should be banned as indoor pets in NYC after seeing poop-filled snowdrifts

Exceerpt:

A Palestinian activist has called for dogs to be banned as pets in New York City claiming they aren't Islamic.

Nerdeen Kiswani said dogs have a 'place in society' but 'not as indoor pets.'

'Like we've said all along, they are unclean,' she wrote on X.

After receiving fierce backlash she later claimed that her post was a 'joke'.

The headline may have been changed, since the FR thread says: Famous Palestinian activist calls for dogs to be banned as 'indoor pets' in NYC because they are UN-ISLAMIC

Dogs didn’t crash airplanes into the World Trade Center. Dogs didn’t crash an airplane into the Pentagon. Dogs didn’t attack Israel; dogs didn’t kidnap Israeli citizens and rape them to death. Dogs haven’t been trying to destroy civilization since 622AD.

I like dogs.

I have no use for moslems. Or mohammedans. Or whatever you call followers of that filth called the “koran”.

As my daughter used to say when she was much younger, he wears a yamaha.

Muslims joined with Nazis to kill Jews. His observation is very easy to understand.

Daughter and so-in-law couldn’t have children so adopted dogs. Four of them.
n
Son-in-law died 18 months ago but dogs are still fine, so daughter is not alone. I love those dogs too and they love me. My cat hates it when I come home smelling like those “mangy curs”, as she thinks of them.

No one in our family can live without pets.
