New in PJ Media:
It’s hard to imagine sometimes that these people even believe the line they’re pushing on us. If you are willing to believe the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), “Islamophobia” is so rampant, so out of control in our once-green and pleasant land that Muslim children can’t even stop by their local McDonald’s for a sandwich without falling victim to the dastardly pranks of Muslim-haters who were just waiting, and watching, and biding their time for their chance to humiliate an unsuspecting Mohammedan lad. Or maybe CAIR is just looking to shake down a massive corporation that doesn’t want any bad publicity. You be the judge.
It all started, according to a Wednesday Associated Press story, when a hijab-wearing Muslim woman, Ghadir Alahmar, walked into a McDonald’s with her twin seven-year-old sons. Alahmar “ordered a plain fish sandwich,” and thoughtfully “had one of her children repeat the order to a worker in case they did not understand her accent.”
Instead of cooing over the cute twins and filling their order cheerfully and promptly, however, McDonald’s employees, according to Alahmar, in their hate and “Islamophobia,” decided to load up the fish sandwich with bacon. Unsuspectingly, the trio “received their order, which included fries and cookies, and left the restaurant to walk to a nearby school playground where they planned to eat. One of her sons noticed the bacon. The sandwich not only had bacon on it, but appeared to have extra bacon, the complaint says. They did not eat the bacon, but one son ate the lower half of the bun and part of the fish filet, according to the complaint.”
The family was, by their own account, thoroughly traumatized. Alahmar accused the fast-food giant of doing it on purpose: “McDonald’s made my children and me feel unwanted and worthless by intentionally stuffing a fish sandwich full of bacon for no other reason than to punish us for our faith and religious convictions. This really hurt us. My children now wonder if they are welcome in their own country. They ask me, ‘Do they hate us?’ How is a mother supposed to answer that question?”
Why would the children ask Alahmar that? Why don’t they ask her, “Did they get our order wrong?” Why is it default mode that they must be victims of a hate crime? Possibly because CAIR is involved, and CAIR would have you believe that the McDonald’s employees involved knew perfectly well what they were doing, and did it out of plain malice. CAIR has accordingly “filed a discrimination complaint on the woman’s behalf with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination.”
The complaint declares: “It is commonly known that Islam forbids Muslims from eating pork. McDonald’s employees willfully added bacon to the complainant’s food in an effort to offend, humiliate, and cause distress to complainant and her young children.”
There is more. Read the rest here.
somehistory says
this was on the other thread re; this hoax for money
“The sandwich not only had bacon on it, but appeared to have extra bacon, the complaint says.”
How would the kid know bacon when he saw it…unless he had eaten it before?
And,, how would the woman know it “appeared to have extra bacon” if she didn’t ordinarily get bacon on her fish?
I’m wondering why she only ordered lunch for one kid when she had two? Was it solely to create a situation where she could get a large sum of money by making a claim of discrimination?
The “reasonable man” would say an apology and a free sandwich or two would satisfy. But, mozlums are not only “unreasonable” but they are habitual liars and they believe that we owe them money and whatever else they demand.
gravenimage says
And how would they know what constituted extra bacon?
JOHN L SCHARF says
Do you think a Jew like me would not have seen what people put on the sandwiches of others? What a troll.
somehistory says
Have you worked behind the counter at a Mcdonalds? Have you seen those who actually make the sandwiches or just those out front who take the money and pass along the bag or tray with the food? (I have worked in fast food restaurants)
The sandwiches are not made out front; they are cooked out of sight and put together by cooks, not the wait staff you see while you wait.
and, as many as I have ever been in, I have never seen anyone take their sandwich apart right there to see how much bacon, cheese, meat, lettuce, tomatoe….the cook put on.
the customer either takes their food on a tray to a table, or they take a bag with them to their car. or walk away on foot. They don’t stand and examine it when the wait staff hands it to them there at the counter.
do you sit in those places and watch others eat and see how much bacon they may have on their sandwich?
honesty is best when making arguments for your point of view.
gravenimage says
Orders are served in boxes or wrapped in paper. Why would anyone hover over other people’s tables to see what is put in their orders? This is just bizarre.
somehistory says
Different colored paper is used to wrap sandwiches, and it’s possible someone else took an order for a fish with bacon and the one who gave the order to the mozlum…if, in fact she’s telling the truth…saw the paper and grabbed it before the other employee took if for their customer.
It happens when a lot of hands are reaching for the same or similar orders. There is absolutely no reason to believe it was intentional and she should have just gone back in and requested another sandwich. they would have been happy to accommodate.
bill says
It would not kill them even if they ate it. Considering what Muslims are doing to Christians in various locations especially Africa, this is trivial beyond belief
gravenimage says
So true.
somehistory says
and, mozlums are actually **allowed** to do things when they can’t follow strict commands.
maria says
If the muslims don´t eat pork they must politely ask if they can get another sandwich or they can leave the restaurant.
I would not touch muslim food and I would never go to a muslim restaurant.
They must create only their restaurants and all non- muslims should boycott them.
Wellington says
Even if bacon was intentionally served to a Muslim family (which it almost certainly was not), how does this compare to how all Muslims nations treat with non-Muslims?
John L Scharf, it’s your turn to man up and reply. If you don’t reply, many will know your truth worth, which right now looks pretty dismal. Like so many weaklings, you post and then run.
I would NEVER back away from a bogus claim against me. Never have, never will. Your turn, Scharf.
mortimer says
Agree. Scharf should back off the hyperbolic style of expressing his thoughts and try to be completely clear and reasonable. I have erred in my comments occasionally and have apologized. A little humility if good for the soul. No one is right all the time, Scharf.
Almost certainly, no employee of McDonalds would have done it. Not credible at all.
And I agree again with Wellington’s comparison. Muslims daily do MUCH WORSE THINGS TO KAFIRS in EVERY Muslim-majority country. And they get away with it in most cases. The police tell the victims, ‘Just let it drop … don’t cause more problems.’ Or such like.
Westman says
Like the grooming gangs in the UK who got away with raping underage girls for many years before the powers that be couldn’t keep it quiet any longer?
Allowing evil in the name of Diversity. Those who allowed it are as evil as those Muslims who committed it.
JOHN L SCHARF says
You are just as unjust, unreasonable, and irresponsible as him. IF YOU COPY THE BEHAVIORS OF MUHAMMADANS YOU ARE THE SAME AS THEM!
SO, in your morality if one person robs, rapes, and murders your family you have a right to rob, rape, or murder any family you decide to. You sound like the psychopaths, robbers, rapists, and murderers I supervised in prison. Like so many cowards, you hide behind a fake profile and call others out. Your claim has no facts, logic, justice, or civility. YOU ARE JUST THE SAME AS ANY MUHAMMADAN.
gravenimage says
The idea that accidentally putting bacon on a sandwich–even assuming this happened–is morally equivalent to robbery, rape, and murder is just bizarre. If John L. Scharf here really supervised violent felons in prison this is pretty concerning.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Wellington and Mortimer.
Anyone curious can find these unhinged posts from JOHN L SCHARF on this thread:
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2022/06/massachusetts-hamas-linked-cair-claims-mcdonalds-put-bacon-in-muslims-sandwich-to-humiliate-him
JOHN L SCHARF says
You presented no facts or logical argument, yet you lie and say “I” am unhinged. How are YOU different than any Muhammadan? I am not here to defend Muhammadans. I am here to defend reason, common sense, and civility which YOU are helping THEM to destroy!
gravenimage says
Actually, I note several times on that thread that accidentally putting bacon on a sandwich is not a crime, nor is it “humiliating” anyone.
Then, even if you disagree with what I say here, claiming that peacefully putting forth such an argument is the same as raping, enslaving, and mass murdering victims is grotesque and morally abhorrent.
Such claims are not reasonable, civil, or indicative of common sense.
Then, John L. Scharf talked about killing someone if he ever got pork on his hamburger:

If you put pork in hamburger to despise me as a Jew, it will not meet your needs over time.

The Hebrew here translates as “If someone is coming to kill you, rise against him and kill him first.”
Of course, putting bacon on someone’s burger–even if it *were* intentional–is *not* “coming to kill you”, nor is anyone legally allowed to murder someone in this context.
My saying that this is unhinged is an opinion–and quite a rational opinion, I think.
JOHN L SCHARF says
SO, in your morality if one person robs, rapes, and murders your family you have a right to rob, rape, or murder any family you decide to. You sound like the psychopaths, robbers, rapists, and murderers I supervised in prison. Like so many cowards, you hide behind a fake profile and call others out. Your claim has no facts, logic, justice, or civility. YOU ARE JUST THE SAME AS ANY MUHAMMADAN.
gravenimage says
Who here has said *any such thing*? Accidentally putting bacon on someone’s sandwich is not robbery, rape, or murder.
This poster claims to have worked in a prison with violent offenders–let’s hope this is not the case, if he is so confused over what constitutes violent crime.
Black Sabbath says
This is called “bacon” jihad. Moslems found a new way to milk money out of dumb infidels. Play victim and sue for millions of dollars. The cost of settlement will eventually be passed back to consumers and in some cases to tax payers when the party being sued is government. Meanwhile, the dumb infidels get to “enjoy” islamic prayers from Minneapolis loudspeakers five times a day.
JOHN L SCHARF says
Having looked at the pile produced by the Muhammadans, I have to say, as a juror, I would not be convinced a preponderance of evidence would convince me McDonald’s did anything wrong, much less a standard of beyond a reasonable doubt.
John says
Another report says the mother was charged extra for the bacon on the fish sandwich. It appears the individual taking the order couldn’t understand the mother or the child’s accent. (Who orders a ‘plain’ fish sandwich at McDonalds? They’re already as plain as can be.)
‘Plain’ with a paki/Arab accent was interpreted as bacon.
livingengine says
As you can see this story was carried by stations in Ohio, and Massachusetts.

This is CAIR. This is what they do; create Islamophobia where there is none..
Westman says
CAIR, struggling to stay relevant and get some shakedown bucks. Chick-fil-A has already capitulated on a few demands, maybe McDonald’s will cave. Once they play the dimmi role, it never ends.

Hate Crime or Shakedown for Money? McDonald’s Accused of Serving Bacon to Muslim Family
…………….
Yes–more “Lawfare” shakedowns.
Jerry says
Part of a worldwide Islamic strategy of intimidating McDonald’s and other chains into banishing pork and going Halal and thus forcing the non-Muslim majority into observing Islamic dietary laws.
Came across it as far away as South Africa, where I could not get anything containing pork and then observed the “Halal” Certificate.
No problem. I went elsewhere and ordered bacon and eggs for my breakfast.
Since then, I avoid all McDonald’s that have gone Halal.
Not only do Muslimsn wish to rule the world and force their ways on 3veryine else but they also have the agenda to ultimately rid the world of all they cannot coerce into Islam.
Alfredo says
Obviously another extorsion by the inveterate extorsionists. They have been extorsioning the Kofar since time immemorial, because they hate them, and they hate them because they envy the them. Envious Muslims.
It’s another barefaced attempt at using religion to extract money from the envied “infidels”. Nobody put a gun to their head ordering these scam artists to eat at Macdonald’s.
Will they allege now they didn’t know what they were ordering had bacon?
They probably will, knowing full well before hand, but did it in order to later sue for contravening their Sharia.
That’s how they’re sneaking in their Sharia by stealth into the West.
And gullible Westerners are falling headlong into their sticky fingers.
Henceforth Macdonald’s must protect itself from these con artists simply by declaring our products contain bacon. If you’re not allowed to consume bacon, go elsewhere!
But probably they will just settle out of court and write it off as the cost of doing business as usual. And that’s how these hateful Muhammadans are islamizing the Western world.
And those who see through the transparent scam cannot call them out because otherwise, they will be smeared with the islamophobic and therefore racist epithet de ipso facto.
James Lincoln says
Just wondering, theoretically, how this would have “played out” if it actually had been vegetarian “bacon” from MorningStar…
gravenimage says
I had that with breakfast yesterday! I don’t really care if Muslims would be “offended” by it or not. There are endless questions on forums like Quora obsessing over whether turkey bacon is Halal or not.

notnolib says
When I was a kid, I remember my Rabbi telling a story about how he found a sausage patty under his scrambled egg on an airline flight (yes…..in the days when they served meals), despite having requested a kosher meal. Do you know what he did? He informed the flight attendant, and got on with his day. Can you imagine?
My suggestion to the muslims……Dine at Allahu’s Snackbar. They are the BEST!
gravenimage says
Not surprised by your Rabbi’s measured response, notnolib.
I’ve mentioned this before: I attended a preparatory high school with a large Jewish student body. One day a new cafeteria worker accidently put non-Kosher hotdogs in both vats. After finding the error, the school apologized to anyone inconvenienced by the issue.
They also offered free Kosher dogs to any students who had been bothered by the mix up. There was no means test–you didn’t have to prove that you were Jewish, kept Kosher, or had purchased what you thought was a Kosher dog that day. After a week and a somewhat higher than usual run on Kosher dogs, the school decided that this was enough.
There were no calls to sue the school. There were no claims that what was obviously a simple error was actually a deliberate attempt to ‘humiliate’ Kosher students. There were no threats. There were no demands that a week of free dogs was not enough.
None of the kids, even those who kept most scrupulously Kosher, claimed to have been traumatized by this incident.
A few of the kids missed the free hot dogs, though…
JOHN L SCHARF says
I am sure your Rabbi would have obeyed the order to take the ticket to Auschwitz and politely gone to his death.
None of us want to confront people over a simple mistake. I suspect he thought it was just a careless oversight. I am sure Bavarian Jews like my great grandfather put up with the deliberate contamination of their food for decades telling themselves it was just an oversight.
If you want to kiss the hand that will kill you, move to Iran.

You keep equating Jews with mozlums. that’s a real shame. I’ve known both, and found the Jews to be much nicer, reasonable and no threat to me or mine,
and, why not post your threats in English so others can readily understand?
gravenimage says
So politely informing the flight attendant that they got your order wrong–instead of doing what, exactly?–is the same as passively going to a Nazi death camp?
And JOHN L SCHARF wonders why I say he is unhinged.
And this is the second time that he has posted about *killing someone* over a mix-up that would not be Kosher.
I have warned him before that inciting violence is *not* allowed here.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Time to try some non-halal Burger King where they will, ‘Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce (and bacon) special orders don’t upset us. Have it your way. Have it your way at Burger King now!”
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Things must be pretty good in the U.S. to have the luxury to complain about such trivial issues. Unlike in many Islamic hellhole countries, where one gang of Mohammadens conspires to blow up the hate centers (mosques) of other Mohammadens, the shameless adherents of the mass murdering, child rapist, sex slave owning, theiving, racist, living in the U.S., express no gratitude for a Western democracy, but rather, contempt and hatred for their welcoming hosts.
“The fix is in.” Meaning: The game or contest is being controlled in a dishonest way. All Mohammadens should be educated about their vile prophet before setting foot in a free and civilized country.

While I agree with the charges you have made against Muhammadans, I see no democracy in any place “Western” other than Switzerland. If you let Muhammadans set the bottom line, you are no better than a Muhammadan.
Democracy demands the consent of the governed. None of us have a vote on creating, interpreting, or executing the tyrannical laws we live under. These fake democracies enslave citizens for national service in wars they did not start or vote for.
In the US it is a constant fight to resist daily attempts to violate self-evident inalienable natural rights like self-defense.
As long as “representatives” misrepresent you, there is no democracy.
As long as government creates elites with special powers, privileges, and immunities you do not have, there is no democracy.
gravenimage says
If JOHN L SCHARF believes that there is no democracy anywhere in the West–save perhaps for Switzerland–where does he actually want to live? There if precious little democracy anywhere outside the West, certainly.
But if he believes that it is democratic to murder someone over getting bacon on your sandwich, he is apt to be very disappointed…
