Nerdeen Kiswani, a close ally to Democrat Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and instrumental in organizing the 2024 pro-Hamas protests which tore up the city, decided to take to X to issue her hot take on people having man’s best friend in their residences.
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.

“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.”
Out of the piehole of pro-Palestinian activists emits filth worse than what comes out of my two pooches. Unlike the folks in her Hamas bubble, New Yorkers and every other American let her know what country she was living in — and it’s not “Palestine.” Not only did Kiswani mistake us for people who cared about her opinion, but she also didn’t expect the backlash she rightly received.
GOP Congressman Randy Fine (FL-06) set it off.
If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.
— Congressman Randy Fine (@RepFine) February 15, 2026
Of course, Kiswani played victim and screamed rAciZm and “genocide,” issuing this response to Fine’s post, on which, of course, she restricted comments.
So stunning. So brave.
Randy fine posted this genocidal statement about me. Thing is, no one is forcing you to choose. He’s just like the millions of other racists hounding me this past week, looking for a reason to be Islamophobic.
Just replace Muslims with any other religion and ask if this is ok. https://t.co/eYBTlmCR43

Someone needs to clue her in on the plot of “John Wick.” This was not Kiswani’s day, and we are not the ones.
No other religion is asking us to ban dogs from our cities though. Go back to Marry-Your-Uncle-And-Inbreed-A-Stan, Nerdeen. Oh, and turn on your comments, coward! https://t.co/hfVvBxL36b

Democrat Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari (AZ-03) tried to back Kiswani’s play and condemn Fine’s comments.
If anyone said something this vile in any workplace, they’d be fired.

Randy Fine has repeatedly dehumanized Muslims without consequence. It’s unacceptable and should not be normalized by Congress.
@SpeakerJohnson should reprimand him immediately. And if Fine cannot meet the most basic standard of human dignity, he should resign.
Ansari even tagged House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA04), demanding that Fine be reprimanded and that he resign. Good luck with that.

Then denounce the comment by Nerdeen Kiswani first, and if you do not, YOU SHOULD BE CENSURED AND REPRIMAMDED. There are plenty of New Yorkers and Americans in every state who would kill to protect their dogs, and their dogs serve as a life line toward their safety, protection, communication, vision and mobility. Who the hell are you, and how dare you try to hurt @RepFine for reminding you that Americans choose their faithful dogs over religious extremists who have no business in our country to begin with, you antiSemite protector?
Religious and political extremism should be stifled from any and every society. If you cannot see that, then you are part of the problem. May I remind you that that same extremism is what got hundreds murdered under Jim Jones in Guyana.
Extremism is a sickness.
She’s not wrong, and the Extreme never starts there. It begins with digs and demands like Kiswani’s, and unless people push back, we will ultimately be mowed down.
Furthermore, her commentary is anti American. We have free will and freedom to do as we please in our homes and apartments. Nobody, not Muslims, not anyone can tell any of us who or what we can have living under our roofs.
There it is. Freedom. Right to privacy and personal property. Concepts Kiswani, Ansari, and their Democrat Socialist ilk despise and want to eliminate, and they’ll start with your right to have a dog in your home.
It’s downright un-American, and as my fellow independent journalist Stephen Horn surmises, maybe it should be part of the revamped immigration requirements.
If you can’t eat a bacon cheeseburger while petting a dog, should you be eligible to immigrate to the United States? https://t.co/XmGXV7oiEq

Just sayin….
Commenter Sabrina @LionHearted76 dispatched Ansari’s nonsense with the quickness.

What Randy Fine said is far from vile. He simply stated the choice isn’t a difficult one. Americans will choose their dogs which is true. Anyone who comes to our country and not only refuses to assimilate, but says that dogs are “unclean,” and doesn’t want any American to have them as indoor pets, invites criticism and strong words.
It is absurd that Nerdeen Kiswani even made this statement. She was born in Jordan. She should go live in a country that follows her customs if she doesn’t like ours.
You see, in America, we love our dogs. For some of us, they are more than pets, hence the term “fur-baby.” We love them in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and they contribute more to this country than a “free Palestine” activist any day of the week.
Our brave K-9 law enforcement and military dogs sniff out and run down danger. Other service dogs protect people and property, help their humans in dealing with epilepsy, PTSD, and other debilitating and life-threatening conditions. Then there are the rest of us who love our dogs and keep them close for the simple reason that they exist, provide us with unbridled affection, and teach us joy and unconditional love. Kiswani obviously never heard the expression: DOG is G-O-D spelled backwards. Dogs are the closest thing to Heaven some people will ever get, including her.
This NY Palestinian activist, Nerdeen Kiswani, said dogs have a ‘place in society’ but ‘not as indoor pets.’
If she and others like her dislike them so much, why don’t they piss off and go live in Palestine?
We would choose dogs 100% over them. pic.twitter.com/QtwbNlGXFm

Dogs are gifts from G-d.
Nerdeen Kiswani, on the other hand, is a rabid bigot. pic.twitter.com/O9pK1Az2oA

Like I said…
I am one of those who believe that if you don’t like dogs, there’s something crucial missing from your soul. https://t.co/zHGaK8juco

After getting flamed beyond recognition, Kiswani tried to backtrack by saying that it was only a joke and, like a broken record, blamed, “the Zionists.”
Totally on brand.
Language warning.
Lmao at the Zionists frothing at the mouth at this, thinking they’re doing something. It’s obviously a joke I don’t care if you have a dog, I do care if your dog is shitting everywhere and you’re not cleaning it.
— Nerdeen Kiswani (@NerdeenKiswani) February 13, 2026
Kiswani is probably mistaking the filth left by the homeless and the junkies on the streets of New York City for dog poop. There’s the irony: she has more compassion for them than she does for dogs.
It’s not Zionists in particular, it’s everybody that is revolted by what you wrote. Also, it was not an obvious joke. That is just you trying to walk it back when you realized how disgusted most people are by you.

Kiswani came for the wrong people. Our love for dogs is as American as baseball, hot dogs, and apple pie. Wouldn’t be surprised if Kiswani hated those things too.
