A Jesus message -- you know, one of Islam's prophets -- was found in the children's meal. That this particular Long John Silver's is located in the Mall of America, where [1] catering to Islamic requests/demands appears to be standard, such a response should certainly have been expected.

"CAIR-MN Calls for Probe of Religious Material in Children's Meal," from [2] PR Newswire, December 19:

ST. PAUL, Minn., Dec. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MN) today called on Kentucky-based Yum! Brands, the parent company of the Long John Silver's restaurant chain, to investigate a complaint reported to the Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization involving distribution of religious literature in a children's meal.

In November, a Muslim family visited a Long John Silver's restaurant at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., and ordered a children's meal for their three-year-old son. They noticed that the toy that came with the meal was a small notepad with the phrase "Build with Jesus" written at the top along with a quote from the Bible.[...]

CAIR-MN is asking Yum! Brands to:

1. Investigate the incident.

2. Offer the Muslim family a formal written apology.

3. Review the toy distribution policy for all restaurants and ensure that such incidents are not repeated.

4. Participate in CAIR's sensitivity and diversity training...
