DETROIT — A judge on Wednesday finalized a $700,000 settlement between McDonald’s Corp. and members of Michigan’s Muslim community over claims a suburban Detroit restaurant falsely advertised its food as prepared according to Islamic law.
Ahmed Ahmed, the Dearborn Heights man who represents plaintiffs in the class-action suit, claims he bought a chicken sandwich in September 2011 at the restaurant but found it wasn’t halal. Islam forbids consumption of pork, and God’s name must be invoked before an animal providing meat for consumption is slaughtered.
The McDonald’s restaurant chain and one of its franchise owners agreed in January to the tentative settlement that would be shared by Ahmed, as well as a Detroit health clinic, the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn and lawyers.

Great, give to the radical nut jobs and next thing you know we will all be wearing robes. What a joke, that money could be going to the Ronald McDonald house which is a great charity.
ReplyDeleteWhat a travesty.
ReplyDeletetravesty? The company advertised a product then ripped the customer off. They deserve what they get.
ReplyDeleteWe need to secure our boarders very quickly and we need to get that Muslim out of the White House.
ReplyDeleteThis country is rapidly becoming a Muslim / Arab nation.
2:14 - you are an idiot. Get off the couch in your parents basement and go get a job, you loser.
ReplyDeleteMcDonald's messed up. Falsely advertised. Had it been advertised as kosher and the food wasn't kosher...same thing. Purely logical.
ReplyDeleteNothing here to see folks. Move along please.
What I want to know is if the Boston bombing is determined to have been perpetrated by Muslim extremists is Obama going to call for Muslim Control? That would be the next logical step in his goal to " better protect our children and our communities from tragic" bombings like the one in Boston MA.

Muslim Control
This guy found the chicken sandwich wasn’t halal? how could he tell? can't see a blessing.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Muslim people should get their own McDonalds franchise and make everything blessed.
