Bacon was allegedly found in the sandwiches of a Muslim family at an Alabama McDonald’s. Khaula Hadeed, head of the Alabama chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), called the incident “an intentional act of religious and ethnic bigotry.”
If this really was done intentionally, it may have been insensitive, silly, obnoxious, and even cruel, but it is not a crime (except perhaps under Sharia). To offend Islam is a crime under Sharia, and to insult Muslims constitutes “Islamophobia” according to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
One cannot say beyond a reasonable doubt that it was “an intentional act of religious and ethnic bigotry,” as Khaula Hadeed claims. In America, one is still innocent until proven guilty. Hadeed has indicted the individual who placed the bacon into the sandwiches already, attributing intent when in fact the intent is not known. The McDonald’s employee may have thought that bacon went into the chicken sandwiches. Or he or she may even have wanted to pull a prank on the Muslims, which was insensitive, but still not an “intentional act of religious and ethnic bigotry.”
Whoever did this should be reprimanded by McDonald’s if it was done in order to enrage some customers, but Khaula Hadeed is trying to use the incident in service of CAIR’s usual victimology subterfuge. Now McDonald’s will be fighting off accusations of “racism,” “Islamophobia” and discrimination.
“Bacon put in Muslim family’s sandwiches at Decatur McDonald’s, Alabama group says”, by Howard Koplowitz, AL.com, August 1, 2017:
The Alabama chapter of a national Muslim organization is calling for an investigation and firings after it said a Decatur McDonald’s put pieces of bacon in a Muslim family’s McChicken sandwiches.
Khaula Hadeed, head of the Alabama chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said Tuesday that bacon was found in 14 sandwiches ordered Monday by the family at the McDonald’s on 3342 Point Mallard Pkwy. SE. Islam forbids adherents from eating pork, including bacon, and Hadeed called the incident “an intentional act of religious and ethnic bigotry.”
The McDonald’s franchise referred AL.com to the franchisee’s director of operations, who could not immediately be reached for comment.
Hadeed said the family was visiting from New York and stopped by the McDonald’s after a day at the Point Mallard Water Park.
“They ordered 14 sandwiches. 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,” she told AL.com.
She said a small piece of bacon was found underneath one of the sandwiches. The family then opened all the other sandwiches, which also had bacon.
“It doesn’t sound like a mistake, especially on 14 sandwiches,” Hadeed said.
She said CAIR-Alabama wants an investigation into the incident, including looking at the closed circuit cameras in the restaurant and kitchen. Hadeed said any staff involved should be fired.
She said an adult vomited twice after the incident….
Dave says
It gets ridiculous every day. If the muslims don’t like it let them go to halal only store.
Errol says
Agreed. If you only eat Halal then go to a certified Halal store and don’t force your religion on others.
Westman says
Good idea, produce something – like Halal burger bars.
I once thought that Islam means submission. Now I’m certain that Islam, in practice, from the believers perspective, means aggression against unbelievers on every front that can be opened.
Where are the Jehovah Witnesses, Quakers, Mormons, and Amish crying discrimination and asking for a monetary reward?
What can one expect from a religion that has an entire Quran chapter dedicated to booty? Somalis aren’t the only pirates in Islam.
Brian Hoff says
If I own that hamburger place it pork was on than chicken meal 14 time on than ober of 14 sandwiches I would tell the staff it that happon than second time I will fire then all
Pumbar says
Yeah, that’d tell ’em Brain. If you could find someone to translate your gibberish, so they could hopefully, figure out what you were trying to say.
Minas says
I think Brian would make a perfect candidate for conversion to Islam.
Rob says
Your English doesn’t support the name “Brian Hoff”, but still I’ll point out the fact that pork is almost a religion in the South. Bacon and other pork products go into many, many Southern dishes. So Muslim folks should just stick to halal joints and leave us bacon loving unbelievers alone. And followers of a “religion” that in 2017 still believes in stoning, sexual mutilation, bombing, amputations, assault, beheading, rape, murder, etc, while abstaining only from consuming pigs do NOT clear the victim-hood bar.
Carolyne says
I would tell the staff that while I appreciate the joke, don’t waste the bacon. Don’t cast pearls to swine so to speak.
Just what agency do these idiots think should investigate? The CIA?
They need to get over themselves. The Constitution does not guarantee that one will not be offended.
Their lives would be improved with a few BLTs.
Don Foss says
More bullshit fake lawsuits from CAIR. But hey…Clock Boy’s ploy (and dozens of others) for CAIR worked really well.
Jacqueleen says
If the Muslims don’t like it…get the h…ll out of here. Go back to your tents and caves where the uncivilized belong.
Guy Forester says
Yes, the videos would be a good idea. How many times have the security cameras shown the alleged crime to be a hoax?
Voytech says
Classic weekly situation in the western world of looking for a payday by the mudslimes . Better not be anything more then a coupon .
Anita says
Another trumped up incident to play VICTIMS!
AuthorLee says
OMG, the poor Muslims have offended Allah and will not be admitted to Paradise. How sad.
Now, where is my BLT?
Shmooviyet says
“It doesn’t sound like a mistake, especially on 14 sandwiches”. Actually it sounds as if it could very well have been a mistake (though I am unfamiliar with this sandwich..) But CAIR is convinced the family has been deliberately poisoned– and rides in to assure them their suspicions are correct, regardless of the outcome of any investigation– which will have been conducted by a bunch of intolerant ‘racist’ ‘phobes anyway.
Voytech says
Looks like these CAIR guys are always in the right spot at the right time .
Don Foss says
It’s all in their playbook. We have it and we know it.
Oliver says
The Muslims have CAIR on speed dial in their cell phones ( where the basic technology was developed BY ISRAELIS IN ISRAEL.
Robeaver says
Right spot at the right slime? Oh…time, sorry. The workers should get a raise. It got a rise out of the family out looking for an excuse to sue. Or is that suueeeh?
But was the halal symbol on the door, put together with pieces of bacon? The h and the L make good bacon letters.
One adult threw up, while cair tries to throw down?
I think the SpcA should investigate, and charge them for spitting out bacon. Is cruelty to bacon an actual crime?……..it should be. Call you senatoe or congressperson NOW!!
Will Doohan says
They probably put the bacon on the sandwiches themselves so they could sue and get money out of it.
Voytech says
100%
john spielman says
hey CAIR; why not also investigate the motive behind the all the attacks by muslim against non muslims across the globe!
Darryl Kerney says
indeed, but CAIR already knows the motive….
miriamrove says
She said an adult vomited twice after the incident….
We have been vomiting every day here reading about jihad and Islam. They finally got a taste of their own medicine. m
somehistory says
Yes, m, islum is vomit worthy.
And the adult could have eaten a bunch of junk food at the park, could have eaten something at their home, or any number of things that made them vomit. But it’s convenient to blame it on the *bacon.*
gravenimage says
+1
Darryl Kerney says
strange that hundreds of millions of people eat various types of pork every day without vomiting,
is there something in it that makes only allah’s slaves sick ?
if so, we need to find out what it is.
but more likely it’s self induced as part of the victimhood scam.
Joe says
Yeah, it sounds contrived. Why was there only a “small piece” of bacon?Why didn’t they take the sandwiches back to the counter, and tell the staff about it? If it wasn’t a mistake, they could have gathered much more evidence by doing an immediate investigation such as demanding to talk to the manager (there is one in every restaurant all the time). I bet there is a security video of the incident which would likely show a different story.
Robeaver says
Good idea!!! A bottle of bacon, or in a tube or in a pill would be good medicine as well. Send a box to cair.
somehistory says
Imo, this is another hoax. Wanting an *investigation* and a *firing* of all involved. And then national headlines as they collect the big bucks from the fast food chain. And the politician loses his run for office.
More lies from the idiot …the same one who wanted the politician to visit her barracks…
How many times are they going to whine about bacon and how many over scarves?
She demands an investigation. She says it’s “religious and ethnic *bigotry*…. As yet, it is not a crime to be a bigot…yet.
The family…how many were wives?…eating the sandwiches, noticed they tasted different. Then, they opened them and found bacon in every one.
As small as the pieces were, and as few as they were…how could they have eaten some and still had that many to show of the 14? As few pieces as are shown in their little video, they would not have been able to taste and then find a piece in all 14.
I’ve been to McDonalds, and other fast food places and eaten certain sandwiches with little bits from other items on the menu. When food is on the grill, or on the counter where the sandwiches are put together, it’s easy for the bread, or the gloved hands to pick up little bits from the previous sandwiches.
And they want to blame a *vomiting* on the sandwiches. Like their fake, false, ‘god’ made the adult sick for eating the bacon.
Someone should investigate and find the moslum buying the bacon so this *family* could put it carefully in each sandwich.
In case moslums haven’t noticed, bacon costs too much to waste the good food on “bigotry”….over and over and over. Infidels are smarter than that.
Bezelel says
McD charges extra for extras, they need to check the receipt and charge the musses if it wasn’t on the receipt. No such thing as a free lunch.
Formercy says
Bacon in my area cost at least $5/lb. depending on the brand. I don’t waste it. I have to wonder how ALL the sandwiches had just a little bit of bacon. If they ate it, how did they ALL have the same amount of bacon left? I have NEVER gotten sick off of bacon unless it was tainted. I believe they put the bacon on the sandwiches themselves so they could sue. All the want is money from the “infidels”. They don’t know what they are missing by not eating pork. I love a good grilled or fried pork chop, ham sandwich or BLT. I have a Muslim neighbor. I grill out a lot for my family. I absolutely love it when they wind is blowing towards their home when I’m grilling especially pork.
If they don’t like it, don’t eat where pork is served!
somehistory says
Yeah, little bits does not a strip of bacon make.
I’m reminded of the very old joke where a non-Cahtolic lived in an all Catholic town. Every Friday as his neighbors were eating fish, he was grilling steak.
Finally they decided to try to convert him so he wouldn’t eat meat on Friday when they couldn’t, as the smells were torture.
They talked to him about their faith and he liked what he heard, so he agreed to be baptized.
Then Friday rolled around and he was back at the grill with his steak. His neighbors went out to talk to him and heard him say, “You were a beefsteak; now you are a fish.”
Apologies if this old joke offends anyone. It isn’t meant to.
terry says
Some history, here is another old joke- and like you, I hope it does not offend. I first heard this when i was 11 or 12.
There was a priest, a very devout man, who was good friends with an Orthodox Jewish Rabbi.
One evening, they were having a few drinks, and there was nobody (else) around. The priest asked the Rabbi, ” Rabbi, tell me the truth, did you ever eat bacon or a piece of ham?” The Rabbi says, ” yes, once, I was a little drunk, before I was ordained, and I had a piece of ham”.
The Rabbi then turned to the priest, and he said, “Father, may I now ask you a personal question?”. Yes, said the priest. ” Did you ever have sex with a woman?”.
yes, said the priest, once, before I entered the seminary.
The Rabbi looked at him, and asked, ” wasn’t that a whole lot better than some ham?”
Hope nobody is offended.
Bezelel says
Acts 10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
16 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
On this authority I go hunting wild hogs and I do kill and eat them.
marina says
I vomit everyday when I read about the atrocities committed by muzlims. I vomit when I think how the Mudslimes worship a murderer and a Jew hater.

Alabama: Hamas-linked CAIR calls for investigation over bacon in Muslim family’s sandwiches
………………………
My husband and I are vegetarians. It doesn’t happen often, but we have certainly wound up with meat in restaurant food every so often–especially if we were trying to modify a dish that usually is not meatless.
We might mention it to staff–usually we just pick the meat out and take it home for the cats. Even here in California, we know that we are a minority–assuming that any slip was deliberate would be ludicrous. If mistakes were to happen a lot at any one restaurant, we would go elsewhere, but this has not been necessary.
I have Jewish friends who keep Kosher who take just the same approach.
I have–needless to say–never demanded an “investigation” into the issue.
This story is ridiculous–it has to do with fake Muslim victimhood, the hope to cash in from a settlement from McDonalds, and the mainstreaming of Halal and other forms of Shari’ah.
Many of these cases, in fact, are ginned up–with Muslims making the whole thing up. This has become especially common in the UK.
Sam Bowles says
I’m going to MacDonalds and have a few bacon sandwiches.
Mike says
A way to break down our society and take over. Time to fight back CAIR is a terrorist organization.
Terry says
How big is this family that they ordered FOURTEEN (14) MC CHICKEN?
According to Google, a McChicken sandwich is $1.29. So 14 of them is just over $18.00 PLUS TAX.
I have had a McChicken sandwich-my view, not worth the money- a snack not a meal.
But, they eat at McDonald’s often?
fast food as a regular diet is not the healthiest. if there are children, Children’s protective services should be called- the children might be suffering from malnutrition.
Brian Hoff says
Child protect service willnot be involse in this.
Pumbar says
You should get a job there serving ‘word salad’, you could keep an eye on the bacon wrangler.
utis says
Definitely. McD’s has the money to investigate and protect its reputation if this whole thing is a scam.
utis says
Sorry, this was meant to be a reply to Mr. Doohan’s comment.
Terry says
This is somewhat like the situation a few years back with a KFC (I think in Kentucky, not sure) near a hospital for children.
A woman brought in her granddaughter (I think the child was like 5 or 6) and somewhat disfigured. The grandmother complained and filed complaints and a lawsuit that the staff discriminated and made fun of the girl, laughed at her, etc etc etc.
Running the tapes– the girl was ENTERTAINING a staff member or two, and they were laughing at her (obviously childish) jokes and applauding her. NOT LAUGHING AT HER.
And, the KFC was near a children’s hospital, and the staff often saw disfigured children.
It was a money grab. KFC did not fall for it.
I hope McD also does not fall for this.
utis says
The way muslims carry on over close encounters of the pork kind (there was a recent frenzy over pizza), I have to ask, why is this so damaging? Are they condemned to hell forever, along with their descendants? Can’t they just say a lot more prayers and send a huge bribe (donation) to their local waqf? Is there really some horrifying punishment for even inadvertent pork contact, or is this all a bunch of drama queens pulling the ooga-booga play on ignorant kufr?
Oliver says
I think the latter-drama queens pulling for a play ( read money)
Lor says
Mr. Doohan might have hit the nail on the head. This would not be the first time that a Muslim orchestrated an event to claim victimhood.
OR , if it is true, someone let off some steam because of all the demands that Muslims make so publicly so increasingly. I vote the former.
Oliver says
There are certain items that many fast food restaurants place on their food. I personally don’t like mayonnaise and tomatoes. So, when I order, I specify that these two items NOT be on the food.
So, the result–if there are any of these items, be it a hamburger or chicken sandwich, already made- and has this, it is easier ( and faster) for the staff to just make a new one.
Same here- and 14 of them? and ALL had the bacon? And digested some and still had some?
I was once a restaurant manager, and I think that this was highly unlikely.
Karen says
If this is not a faked incident, as many are, it is at minimum incredibly rude. Not a crime, but certainly against company policy, to say the least. Who is the employee to assess someone else’s religious rites, and ‘prank’ them?. I’ve never heard of a bacon allergy (God forbid!), but the employee also needs awareness of that possibility.
If this was a true incident, it ruined the day of a family out for a fun time, and lunch at McDonalds; all-American fun. They had a right to get what they ordered without some employee deciding otherwise.
If it’s another fake incident, then that’s a different matter of course.
gravenimage says
If this happened at all, it was probably just a mistake. Go back and have the order redone. If this had happened to me–and I don’t eat meat at all–it would not have ruined my day. It would have, at most, been mildly exasperating.
Karen says
It could have been an accident, since bacon is served on so many things now, and that was a possibility I didn’t think of. I can’t tell you how many cups of coffee I’ve gotten with sugar. Good point.
Carolyne says
There are at least three chicken sandwiches with bacon served at McDonalds. Maybe these idiots don’t speak English well enough to be understood or maybe it was a mistake by the cook. It’s not important when one considers that Muslims are chopping people’s heads off every day. They should be investigated. I would be especially interested in now many of the women were “Married” to the same man.
Karen says
All very good points!
Troy says
Maybe..if we as a country start serving..Bacan on everything served with bacon flavored booze by scantly dressed jewesses on fridays and during romidon at every restraunt and fast food joint we have the muslums will go back to their dessert!
mgoldberg says
The accusers said one adult vomited. I know the feeling I nearely blew chunks reading this stupid false accusation against the restaurant. Look, if you’re Jewish and you don’t want to eat pork you go to a certifiably kosher restaurant, that does not serve ANY non kosher products. If you go a Mcducks where they serve pork in their products then it is conceivable that there might be a mixup and the sandwiches get mixed up in the order. So what… and so what if it was a prank. So what.
The use of political lawfare is what Islam does to enforce punishment for ‘disrespecting’ Islam, but then, think- why eat any products in a restaurant that serves pork its sacred to you not to eat it? The reason is
to inforce the ban for non muslims or to punish non muslims for not following muslim tenets.
And I’ll say it again….. kashruth, kosher laws, for observant jews are far more ocmplex, and strict and as such there are no partially kosher restaurants. But you wouldn’t find some observant jew sueing a restaurant even if it was a strictly kosher restaurant, but yes… the word would go out and indeed the restaurant would loose it’s certification and that would be that.
Muslims always get away with this, and the law should be changed and such restaurants should have a sign that says ‘If you are an halal observer, please check your meals to ensure you don’t have non halal products mistakenly served- thank you.
Arthur says
I just can’t believe a McDonald’s employee was the culprit here.
1. There are bits of bacon spread across multiple sandwiches, not whole pieces put on. That indicates it was intentionally planted on the sandwich against recipe. So it’s unlikely an McD’s employee got the recipe wrong.
2. The cook staff usually can’t see the register staff or the customers, but it is the cook staff that puts the sandwich together. Why would the cook staff bother to plant bits of bacon on a sandwich for someone they can’t see?
3. The sandwiches are dropped down a chute as orders need to be filled. To know where the chicken sandwiches were going would mean that no other chicken sandwiches were ordered.
There is a lack of detail about where the sandwiches were consumed, whether they were brought back to the store, what time of day they were purchased, whether it was at the counter of the drive through, whether the sandwiches left the building before the “discovery”, etc.
Not buying it.
somehistory says
I’m not either. If they regularly ate bacon, or orders could not be make without bacon, and they had to take it off, they would know it is put on in strips across the other meat.
Since they didn’t really want to eat the bacon, but just wanted to pull a fast one, they just put little bits on so they could sill eat without actually eating the bacon.
Small pieces would not allow bacon to be in every bite, and they had only small pieces.
it’s a hoax to gain attention, money, and I think it is directly related to the other issue there in Alabama.
TheBuffster says
Good thinking, Arthur!
TheBuffster says
The only way I’ve thought of so far that this could have been a deliberate malicious act would be if someone working out front was in cahoots with someone working in the back to tell a certain food worker when Muslims had come in and which order it was – in other words, at least two people would have had to plan it – unless the vicious person taking the order went back and told the food worker that the customers had *requested* bacon on their chicken sandwiches, in which case it would all be on the person in front.
Anyhow, we don’t know what really happened. Any employee doing such a thing would have to know they could be discovered and fired and even exposed before the world and wind up facing who knows what for it. But then some people are dumb like that.
It seems most likely, to me, that the Muslim customers are scamming for public pity points and money – . But what seems most likely isn’t always what *is*. It’s enjoyable to speculate on events, but whatever is, is, and we don’t actually know the truth yet.
If someone working at a food preparation shop deliberately put something into my food that they knew I didn’t want to eat, say something I’m allergic to and requested to be left out – a malicious act – and I could be certain that it wasn’t just an error, I’d be angry and would complain about it, too. An employee who deliberately sabotages food is not someone an employer wants to keep around.
Now, an angry but just customer would not sue a company because of something a lowly worker decided to do on his or her own. You’d want the employee fired, but I’d think the company would want that,too. A reasonable customer would understand that a company does not have the ability to foresee who might do such a vicious act and can’t control the choices of such rogue employees. A company can only fire the person once the employee has shown his colors.
So we’ll see what happens next. Who put the bacon on the sandwiches? If it was the employee rather than the customers, will the Muslims sue?

The very presence of Muslims is a noisome event, disgusting on a number of levels.
I would even argue there is a war going on and they are the cause of it with stupid, delusional, and vicious demands upon their devotees to cause harm to any who don’t share their beliefs — I don’t regard a McDonald employees disregard to these enemies as wrong.
Muslims should receive such insults everyday and from everyone — if only shunning them so, as to drive home to this enemy Islamic population that they are not wanted for their stinking religion nor for their lies, intimidation, and violence.

What makes them think their food did not come into contact with bacon grease?
Laura says
If this was intentional then the sandwich saboteur is a complete nutjob if he/she thought that FOURTEEN sandwiches would be eaten without a single diner noticing the offending porcine contamination.
I think this is just another attempt to get a payday at the expense of yet another innocent company.
Valkyrie Ziege says
; Why are the Muhammadans eating fast-foods? Are they too stupid to cook their own food? This is another attempt by Muhammadans to play the professional predatory victim card to extort money that Muhammadans justify as ”Jizyah”.
”McDonald’s” should test the chemical compounds in the ”bacon” in those sandwiches, and I think they’ll find that the Muhammadans put the ”bacon” in, and judging from the description of the ”bacon” product, it’s soy-based ”bacon-bits”. Clever Muhammadans can say they ”ate” bacon, without offending their invisible friend ”Allah”, and endangering their place in ”Paradise”.
This extortion attempt is similar to the black, male, homosexual, preacher, piping the word ”fag” on his store-bought cake, in an attempt to extort money from the store to pay his over-due student loan. The various security-cameras, around the store, told a different story. What is not to love about security cameras.
Bill says
Fair enough, as long as the investigation also goes to whether the victims did this in order to promote the islamophobia myth. The false victim scenario has been played multiple times.

Euripides says
The amusing thing is that the use of pork products is so widespread in the West, the only to avoid it is to stay in the Middle East, but that isn’t likely yo protect them from their irrational porkophobia.
There’s hardly a food product that doesn’t contain it in one form or another and it is frequently an ingredient used in pills. If it contains gelatine or collagen and its use is widespread in the whole food industry and even in producing currency notes.
Usually it will be referred to by its generic name, but be sure that its origin is the humble swine. In the West most of us don’t care. Why should we be so concerned. Anyone who has lived in the west long enough can be sure to have spent their whole live eating products containing pork derived products.
Ignorance is bliss but don’t try to make a religion out of it.
Carolyne says
It is a mystery and source of amusement to me that some people really think that there is a “God” who actually cares what they eat. If there were a “God” wouldn’t they be busy with important matters such as N Korea or Muslim cruelty to non-Muslims and each other? Geez Louise.
Don Foss says
Hey CAIR, we know you monitor here. We don’t hate you because of what you are. We hate you because of who you are. Some Muslims are fine people. Some are absolutely horrible thanks to their beliefs, ideology and the doctrine they have swallowed. You’re horrible. Just fucking horrible.
John says
The bacon found in the sanwiches should be genetically compared to bacon purchased by McDonalds. I would bet that a comparison would reveal that it was put there by the Muslims. They lie about hate crimes all the time!
Jacqueleen says
That is one way to get them to assimilate in the culture of the USA….We love bacon! All the Muslims do is complain, demand, sue and cause dissension….PRESIDENT TRUMP, PLEASE EVICT EVERY MUSLIM TO THE MIDDLE EAST AND BAN THEM FROM RE-ENTRY…..ISOLATE THEM FROM SOCIETY AND LET THEM KILL EACH OTHER….
God bless America and the cook at that restaurant.
