Hating Fido
Mostafa Kamel al-Sayyid, a political science professor at Cairo University, theorized that pet ownership in that part of the world "reflects the desire of rich Egyptians to stress their social identity and stand out from the rest of the people by imitating certain western lifestyles that are not common in Egypt." Well, more power to them. May their attitudes catch on among their coreligionists in the West. Especially the ones in Malmö. Then we'll only have to worry about forced marriages, car burnings, random knifings, machete attacks, explosions, gay-bashings, honor killings, "grooming gangs," the cold-blooded murder of apostates, Hamas-style massacres of Jews, and sundry acts of mass jihadist terrorism of the sort we experienced in New York and Washington on 9/11, in Beslan and Madrid in 2004, in London in 2005, at the Boston Marathon in 2013, in Paris and San Bernardino in 2015, in Nice and Brussels and Berlin in 2016, at the Manchester Arena and in Barcelona in 2017, in Oslo in 2022, and so on,
Going to Malmö? Leave your doggie at home.
