On the first Friday of Ramadan, while practicing Muslims will be performing the Tarawih prayer in the center of Times Square, New York dog owners and lovers plan to also take over Times Square for a Pawty of epic proportions. The "Times Square Dog Lovers Gathering" will be hosted from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET, promoted as a sea of Paws and Positivity.
To recoin an 80s-ism, New Yorkers are telling Democrat Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani to "Talk to the Paw."
This is absolutely glorious. Between the call to prayer that is being blasted around New Yorkistan and Muslims once again choosing Times Square — the internationally-recognized symbol of New York — instead of their mosques for their prayer display, the Islamic radicals have publicly planted a flag and claimed territory. So, New Yorkers of all stripes are using this event to declare they are taking it back. War rarely ever starts with bullets and bombs; it starts with these smaller acts of gaining and ceding ground. Who would have thought it would be the dogs who would be the ones to give New Yorkers a wake-up call?
As RedState reported, this was set off when a Palestinian activist and close ally to Mayor Mamdani decided to make a declaration that New York was "coming to Islam," claiming that dogs are "unclean" and that they should not be allowed in homes.
Republican Rep. Randy Fine (FL-06) responded to Kiswani's post on X and made it clear that when given a choice between dogs and kowtowing to Islamic extremism, Americans' choice will always be their beloved pets. Democrats and the Left decided this would be a good opportunity to cry genocide, racism, and Islamophobia. They are still demanding that Fine be censured and resign from Congress.
Haram = unclean. You get the picture. Not only is it rude, the demands to restrict and ban dogs cuts against what Americans hold dear: our freedom to live in the way that we choose.
This dog walk, aka peaceful protest, has gained tremendous steam and is being promoted everywhere. Some are even encouraging people to bring their pet pigs.
Talk about in your face: with doggy breath.

It’s now 8.13pm Pacific Time in California.
I’m guessing that nothing unexpected happened at all.
If that Doggy Game Plan had been carried out, I expected to be hearing of riots, scimitars having been brandished, and canines harassed along with their owners. Not hearing anything of the sort.
I have relatives that have a hog farm. I wonder if I could bring a “pet” or two myself.
I hope someone brings a pair of Rottweilers that don’t play well with others.
Yep.
In this case, I’ll allow lots of pit-bull terrier breeds out and about.
It is past 9PM now. How did it go??
Murders of dogs in the west in 3...2...1...count on it. And the left won’t say a word. They’ll offer up pooches for sacrifices or just say it was racist to own a dog anyways.
No different than saying your next new POTUS after 9-11 will be a black muslim.
Without the dogs, the blind would have no ability to make their way by themselves. The police would have no ability to track the scent of a dangerous individual or tack the scent of numerous things. These ignorant Muslims with their religious bias are missing out on a useful animal. They are also missing out on the love of an intelligent animal.
Really sad what has happened to our country.
If we even need to ask. that means nothing happened worth knowing about, is my interpretation.
I was going to watch the Times Square webcam but forgot all about it.
If that place wasn’t so far away (5 hours with luck) I’d bring two nasty BLACK DOGS to represent!
Sadly, it looks like you are correct. I haven't been able to find anything else about FRI nite on Times Square.
2026 (February 17 to March 19)
Thnx for the tip!
My dad was a prison guard and they called it Ramariot
I wonder how many Leftist women who have been kissing muslim ass ever since 9/11 will reconsider now that they know something about them.
Dogs before muzz.
Don’t even have to think about it.
