Outrage against Rep. Randy Fine is the left’s outrage du jour, with the fact that he was responding to Nerdeen Kiswani’s call for the banning of dogs in New York City (a “joke,” she says now) often left unmentioned.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom was the first to charge Fine with “racism.” Like virtually all leftists, Newsom doggedly pretends that Islam is a race or Muslims are all of one race. In reality, there are Muslims, and Islamic jihadis, of all races. And what everyone who is charging Fine with “Islamophobia” and “bigotry” is ignoring is the fact that Islamic law, Sharia, is political, supremacist, expansionary, and violent. If we continue to ignore this fact, we will be subsumed under its hegemony, and our new overlords will not hesitate to engage in acts against us that leftists term “bigotry” today, but won’t be doing so then.
Also, there are the obvious rejoinders to all the faux outrage over Fine’s statement: dogs never flew any planes into buildings, women don’t have to fear rape by dogs when they go out at night, dogs aren’t declaring their imminent takeover and the subjugation of the natives, and on and on. No leftist, of course, will acknowledge any of that. In raging at Fine, they’re busy pretending that Islam is no more dangerous than Methodism, and that it’s all about disliking “brown people.” This strategy will backfire on them, and it will do so, paradoxically, right at its moment of victory, when leftists discover, to their horror, that the “Islamophobes” were right, and the leftists themselves are the next jihadi target.
“Republican congressman’s anti-Muslim remark prompts calls for his resignation,” by Ben Kamisar, NBC News, February 16, 2026:
Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., prompted calls for his resignation from Democrats and a major Islamic civil rights group after suggesting in a social media post that he’d choose dogs over Muslims.
“If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one,” Fine posted to the social media platform X on Sunday.
Shortly afterward, he added a photo of a post from Nerdeen Kiswani, the co-founder of the pro-Palestinian group “Within Our Lifetime,” in which she called dogs “unclean” and said that “NYC is coming to Islam.” Kiswani later told NBC News in an email she made the comment satirically.
Fine wrote in the follow-up post, “For context, this is the leader of one of the key mainstream Muslim groups that supported Mamdani,” referring to Zohran Mamdani, New York City’s new mayor.
Fine’s initial post sparked a parade of criticism and a handful of calls for him to resign.
In a statement, the Council on American-Islamic Relations pointed to its previous condemnation’s of Fine’s past comments on Gaza and Hamas, adding that “leaders of Congress across the political spectrum should demand his resignation, which is long overdue.”
Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., called the post “disgusting Islamophobia and dangerous bigotry,” adding that “he should be forced to resign” after his committee assignments are stripped from him.
Rep. Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., called for House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to “reprimand him immediately,” adding that he’s “repeatedly dehumanized Muslims without consequence.”
California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom responded to Fine on X, writing, “Resign now, you racist slob.”…
somehistory says
I read this last night and I say, good for him. More brave people should admit to the preference for dogs.
What’s his face is the ‘racist slob.’ Dogs are preferable to him, also.
Tony says
The virtue-signaling Democrats fail to see that Fine was following Allah. Allah in Qur’an 98:6-7 says, “6 Surely those who became infidels, from the People of the Book[Jews and Christians] and polytheists, will abide in the fire of hell forever. Those are the worst of the creatures. 7 Surely those who believed and did good deeds, those are the best of the creatures.”
Pray Hard says
There is no “allah”. There was probably no “mohammed”. Both are nothing but mythical constructs in the minds of sun-baked savages.

I would choose my beautiful, loyal, loving ALL AMERICAN golden retriever over them ANY time. A F-Newscum, Garcia and that other f-ing moron every day of the week. Good for Randy Fine! A brave, honest stand-up American and a helluva congressman.
Rod says
I think you are incorrect sir. We must deport all the dogs to Pakistan and put the Muslims on a pedestal. Business grants are up for grabs.
You don’t understand the great value an Afghan and Somalian migrant bring. You’ll be enriched culturally. Also more people would participate in democracy. They know how to vote to make America great again.
Somalia is superior to America and your stupid gold doodle dog.
GianCarlo MATTA says
by the way: a burmese monk, Ashin Wirathu, has repeatedly given advice to the women of his country : if you want to get married, marry a dog rather than marry a muslim.
Sister Alberti says
That got a laugh! I urge every person who is not a Muslim to get a dog and take it every place you possibly can. Pretend to be blind if necessary.

As Old Jarhead notes below, Rod is probably being facetious above
gravenimage says
Rod is a staunch Anti-Jihadist. He is being sarcastic here.
Rod says
😂. I am just joking. I don’t like dogs either. Actually I like working dogs. But they would try to take away my cat.
Animals are treated like crap over there. Should we be surprised? Look how they treat other Muslims! What do you think is in store for us?!
Old Jarhead says
I can only assume this is sarcasm. No person with a functional thought process could actually mean this as anything but satire.
Charles D. Clements says
I’ve had two goldens and couldn’t agree with you more. Few people have the character and loyalty of a golden retriever 😊
Thinker1 says
Yes, an easy choice. My dog didn’t threaten to kill me if I didn’t become a dog.
rubiconcrest says
He is entitled to his opinion even if he ruffles some feathers in the process. I don’t know his constituents but this will hopefully guarantee his re-election. He gets it.
Muslims, and non-Muslims like Newsome, who are offended are the ones we have to keep an eye on.

No brainer. The dogs. I would even chose cockroaches over islam.

If you were alone, walking in New York City’s Central Park, what would you be more afraid of seeing:
1. An Irish setter
2. A muslim.
Kosh's Shadow says
Dogs are very good judges of people. I don’t trust anyone my dogs don’t like.
E T says
My wonderful dog is an Irish wolf hound. He is big and black. Some “different” people say black dogs are the devil, methinks they are as close to the devil as one can be. I am so tired of freaks trying to tell us how we should live, what we can wear, eat, drink, Oh and my dog loves to dance with me to raunchy music LOL. GRRRRR
Islam is bad says
I’ve never boarded an airline flight wondering whether a dog on board might kill me.
There is no such thing as Dog Jihad.
Dogs don’t have an established ideology that promotes harm and deception towards non-dogs (although they might have a particular animus towards cats).
Dogs aren’t anti-Semitic (although they might be anti-feline).
Dogs are generally loyal and trustworthy.
I support the dogs.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I do hope that the attempt to censure him goes down in flames. If for no other reason, the GOP should unite and deny the Dems a win for partisan reasons alone
P.S. He’s right about dogs. I’m not a pet owner myself, but have grown fond of my sister’s dogs
Tim gallagher says
Man’s best friend, wonderfully loyal and wishing us well, versus the hate filled, vicious members of a satanic cult which threatens to kill us if we don’t join the satanic cult. It is a bloody easy choice. I would choose the dog over a Muslim any day of the week.and bravo to this guy for being so forthright with his views as opposed to all the piss weak fence sitters.
John McCall says
Never met a dog I didn’t like, Muslims, not so much.
Tim gallagher says
I feel the same, john, although I have to say that there are some ferocious dogs that scare me but I think is the owners who have made them that way. Muslims, I trust none of them. They are are brought up to hate us. If only everybody would realise this.

The Remorseless Headsman says
As I’ve already posted on several sites, I’d trade every Muslim man,woman & child if I could have my best friend & companion back. He was a Blue Heeler, my service dog & the most devoted creature I’ve ever known. I lost him to cancer this past year. The Muslim invasion of America began in earnest under the Kenyan Muslim & under his direction, Biden opened the border to who knows how many terrorists. I know enough of the Quran to know their goal is a world-wide caliphate and they will stop at nothing to achieve that. France & the UK are already lost but if it takes civil war to eliminate them from America, so be it, they MUSt & WILL be stopped.

Larry Estevan,
Thank you for the link. Good to see a politician with a spine.
The only change I would make to Mr. Fine’s original comment would be to change “Muslim” to “Islam”.
“If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and ISLAM is not
a difficult one.
It argues against the ideology and ignores the distraction of arguing against people, individual or otherwise.
But kudos either way.
Old Jarhead says
I’d even prefer someone else’s dog.

Unfortunately, politicians who have the brains and courage to speak the truth, like Randy Fine, are few and far between. The others are useful idiots or just plain idiots who are marching, like lemmings, to their own destruction and ours.

Mo says
This was either a setup, or just being used as one. Obviously, it’s not, “racist”, since Islam is not a race.
That said, the comments here have been appalling. I loathe Islam. That is different than hating Muslim people. They need Jesus Christ. Muslims are human beings created in the image of God. Dogs are not.
That type of behavior/comments, on JW, of all places, just drags the reputation of this important resource into the dirt.
We’re supposed to be better than that. We always have been better than that.
gravenimage says
Why are you appalled that decent people don’t want Muslims banning, abusing, and killing dogs–and us?
Muslims have the same benefits every other human has–and they have chosen to embrace a creed that preaches the abuse of dogs and robbery, rape, enslavement, and mass murder of all Infidels. Dog do not do this.
Why are you appalled that decent people here dare point this out?
Mo says
Wow! I made a comment last night simply stating that Muslims are human beings, human beings are more valuable than dogs, Muslims need Jesus Christ – and that was censored/not posted?!
I’m actually being censored HERE, of all places? After being a loyal follower of JW for years and years and years?
Wow!
gravenimage says
Comments can take a while to post–your comment has posted, above.
And saying that you just pointed out that Muslims are human and have been censored by Jihad Watch for this is *quite* false–anyone can read your post.
One can recognize that Muslims are human–I certainly do, and so does Jihad Watch–without wanting to mass import them to destroy our civilized culture and wage Jihad terror against us. And I *will* point out that dogs do not do that to us–whether you are “appalled” by the truth or not.
Mo says
Oh, glad to see that. Had me scared for a bit.
Obviously, I know they should not be mass imported. But I *will* continue to be appalled at anyone preferring dogs over humans. That is simply immoral.
gravenimage says
So preferring dogs to being slaughtered by Muslims–or Fascists, or any humans doing evil–is “simply immoral”? I’m sorry–I do not consider loving loyal pets more than humans embracing savagery and abusing and slaughtering innocent people to be immoral.
But of course you can continue to be appalled by this, if you so desire. I hope it makes you feel better that Muslims continue to violently destroys us–but at least you prefer this to not opposing Muslims harming dogs.
So are you a big fan of this barbarism?

somehistory says
You make it sound as if one is standing on the lake shore watching a human drown while using resources in saving a dog.
muzzies are here ….and everywhere…to take over and rape and enslave or rape and murder us. They don’t view us as having any rights they don’t see us as human and they want us dead. Our dogs can help prevent that killing.
To tell them we will not get rid of our dogs so they can be happier in the quest to murder and subjugate us is common sense and self-preservation.
If they don’t want to be around dogs, they can leave and go where there are no dogs.
and this is not “immoral” by any stretch.
gravenimage says
Spot on, Somehistory.
somehistory says
You were not censored.
Consider who was on the Ark with Noah and his family. Animals of all kinds, while the wicked, evil *humans* died in the flood waters because they refused to listen to Noah.
muzzies refuse to listen. I know because I’ve tried talking to them about Jesus Christ and His Father.
The Bible says that a ‘live dog is better off than a dead lion.”
muzzies have a choice to make. If they don’t, they will be “Judged” as those people in Noah’s day. were.
