pigsty - or a burning building?

No. The narrow-mindedness and arrogance comes from the assumption that there is only one gate, or that the location in question is even a pigsty. If I came intoyour home, called it a pigsty, and then claimed to know the only way out of it, wouldn't you take offence?

No, narrow-minded, intolerant arrogance would be putting a pigsty in an open meadow, then forcing everyone in.

This sounds like one of those thinly veiled "Christian" allegories.
It could be narrow-minded and arrogant, if you *thought* it was the only Gate out, and you were in fact wrong. Also, maybe the "pigsty" is in the eye of the beholder.

No, but it's arrogant to tell someone their home is a pigsty and try to get them out of it, when they're content the way they live their life.

Would it be narrow-minded, intolerant or arrogant to tell others they are wrong, there is something wrong with them, that they're evil, vile, etc. and that only you know the 'right' way?
...I guess it's all in the delivery.

No, but if this is meant to be analogy I don't know what the pigsty is supposed to be.

What has convinced you that 1. this pig wants out and 2. that you know the way?

It depends on whether you were pushing your brand of religion in the process; it would depend if you acknowledged that religions are basically scams to keep the peasants under control.
