Family Pulls Out Camera For Proof Of What McDonald’s Put On All Of Their Sandwiches

Controversial Accusations Against McDonald’s: A Story of Religious Sensitivity

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has levied allegations against a McDonald’s outlet, accusing the fast-food giant of deliberately adding bacon to a Muslim family’s order, an action that violates Islamic dietary restrictions (video below).

The Incident: An Unexpected Discovery

The family, visiting from New York, decided to eat at a McDonald’s in Decatur and ordered 14 sandwiches. However, the dining experience took a turn when they found bacon in their meal, a food strictly prohibited in the Islamic faith, reports AL.com.

Khaula Hadeed, the leader of the CAIR’s Alabama chapter, relayed the family’s experience, saying, “They started noticing it tasted different to them. They eat McChicken all the time at McDonald’s. They knew what they ordered — they know what’s in the sandwich.”

A Deliberate Act or An Honest Mistake?

In Hadeed’s view, this was not just a simple error but a direct assault on the family’s religious beliefs. “It doesn’t sound like a mistake, especially on 14 sandwiches,” Hadeed argued, labeling the incident “an intentional act of religious and ethnic bigotry.”

In light of these events, Hadeed is calling for a full-scale investigation, particularly as one of the adult family members reportedly vomited twice after consuming the meal.

Hadeed expressed the family’s deep disturbance over the incident and demanded that McDonald’s take decisive action. “McDonald’s should investigate this incident, identify and terminate the employees responsible, and take proactive steps to satisfy this American family’s concerns, starting with an apology.”

The Public Response: Mixed Reactions

The revelation of this incident has sparked intense debate on social media platforms.

Some users sided with the family and supported the allegations. One AL.com reader stated, “I’ve certainly seen ‘good Christians’ doing some nasty things to those who are different…I tend to believe the Muslim family, and think that some nasty fool stuck bacon into their sandwiches as a way to humiliate and inflict suffering on someone who is ‘other,’ they added. “That’s
UnAmerican, in my books.”

However, not all responses were supportive. A few individuals were skeptical about the authenticity of the claim.

One user criticized, “It’s a scam. They probably picked an Alabama McDonald’s because they figured it would draw more attention than say a McDonald’s in NYC.” Another user added, “Yeah,

I don’t believe this was done by any McDonald’s employee. I’d say 99% of the time, the people working in the back aren’t looking to see who their customers are.”

This incident brings to light the importance of religious sensitivity, especially in the hospitality industry. It remains to be seen whether this was a case of malicious intent or an innocent error. As we await further investigation, this story serves as a stark reminder of the need for understanding and respecting the diversity that enriches our global community.
