New Yorkers are used to dodging a lot of things—high rent, traffic jams, and even the occasional subway rat. But this time, they’re tiptoeing around something a bit more… aromatic. Yes, folks, the city that never sleeps is now the city that never scoops, and the sidewalks have turned into a minefield of unscooped dog poop. And just when you think things couldn’t get any weirder, an anti-Israel activist steps in to suggest that this doggy doo disaster is a sign that NYC should embrace Islam. You can’t make this stuff up!
Nerdeen Kiswani, known for her radical antics, took to social media to let everyone know that this poopocalypse is just another reason the Big Apple should turn to Islam. According to her, dogs are unclean and don’t belong indoors. Who knew dog poop could lead to such philosophical revelations? Meanwhile, New Yorkers, including some lefty City Council members, are in an uproar over the piles of poop left behind since last month’s winter storm.
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.

The storms dumped more than just snow on the streets, and residents have been raising a stink on social media. Even Chi Ossé, a Gen-Z councilman from Brooklyn, couldn’t hold back his frustration, calling out owners with a colorful plea to pick up their mess. His fellow council member, Shahana Hanif, also weighed in, warning that dog waste poses a public health risk. She’s right, of course. This isn’t just about avoiding a messy shoe—it’s about keeping the city clean and safe for everyone.
Unlike manure, dog waste is a public health hazard. It spreads bacteria, pollutes our streets and waterways, and creates unsafe conditions — especially for seniors and people with disabilities. Not picking it up isn’t just gross. It puts all of us at risk. https://t.co/XFSCJNZaRa

Despite the mounting complaints, the city’s Sanitation Department hasn’t issued a single violation. That’s right, zero. It seems the piles of poop are just going to keep growing, at least until the next snowstorm comes to cover them up again.
Although I suspect many will think this is an extreme reason to adopt Islamic values into a western city.
