Group calls on McDonald's to fire employees after Muslim family finds pork in meals

A Muslim advocacy group is calling on McDonald’s to fire the employee or employees responsible for what they said was a act of intentional malice toward a Muslim family dining at a franchise of the fast food restaurant in North Alabama.

According to the Council on American-Islamic Relations Alabama, a Muslim family traveling through Decatur, Alabama, ordered 14 chicken sandwiches. When they received their sandwiches, they found bits and pieces of bacon in all of them.

Pork is strictly forbidden for consumption in the Islamic faith.

“Based on the evidence in this incident, as well as the unprecedented spike in anti-Muslim bigotry nationwide, we believe this was an intentional act of religious and ethnic bigotry,” said CAIR-Alabama Executive Director Khaula Hadeed. “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.”

I've known a few business owners who have had to let workers who can't work with a diverse public go . Don't work with the public if you don't like people

All I see are photos where the bacon looks suspiciously clean despite being on a sandwich that's loaded with mayo.
