Once again, American politics has gone to the dogs, literally, as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) called members of Congress to demand the resignation of Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) after the Florida lawmaker threw a politically-charged bone to his supporters to chew on.
“If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one," stated Rep. Fine on "X."
CAIR called the statement "racist," as did California Governor Gavin Newsom, who appears to be eyeing a 2028 presidential run. Gov. Newsom went as far as to call Rep. Fine a "racist slob."
Where did the dog reference stem from?
It appears that Rep. Fine was responding to another "X" post where pro-Palestinian activist Nerdeen Kiswani stated," 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."
Kiswani responded to Rep. Fine's remark, calling it genocidal?
Huh? Genocidal?
"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," stated Kiswani.
In response to CAIR's statement, Fine to a jab a the group for wanting America to be "sharia-compliant."
"CAIR believes dogs should be outlawed in America so we can be sharia-compliant. They are mad that I disagree. Too bad," said Fine in a response for comment to The Floridian.
CAIR is the same group that was named as an "unindicted co-conspirator" by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. (FBI) in the Holy land Foundation trial, where the organization was linked to the Hamas terror group.
In addition, CAIR-Florida denounced Israel and praised Palestinians on October 7, 2023, the day Hamas terrorists killed 1,200 innocent Israelies and hundreds of other foreigners.
Fine recently filed legislation to designation CAIR as a terrorist group, and has called them a "terrorist front group for Hamas."
Fine, alongside Rep. Byron Donalds (R), denounced the practice of sharia law in the U.S. during a recent political event at a chabad in Boca Raton, Florida.
"I have no interest in Florida or the United States, at large, looking like Western Europe and what's happened with the move of Sharia into those countries," Donalds said, adding," It's not been good for Western Europe, it would not be good for America. "Look, Sharia law is incompatible with our constitution and with Western civilization. Full Stop. I think on that premise, there can't be any compromise."
