These are generally days of mourning (mixed with a generous helping of hysterical fearmongering) for the left, but the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is all smiles. Its Massachusetts chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MA) announced Thursday that the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD) has found “probable cause” in a discrimination case involving a Muslim woman who claims that a McDonald’s employee deliberately and maliciously served her pork. No, it wasn’t Donald Trump, but the victim and her CAIR allies are furious, and looking for justice, otherwise known as a big payday.
It all started way back in June 2021, when, according to the Associated Press, 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.”
McDonald’s employees, according to Alahmar, in their hate and “Islamophobia,” decided to load up the fish sandwich with (shield your children’s eyes) bacon. The unsuspecting victims “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 lower half of the bun and part of the fish filet? Ohhh-kay. Anyway, the family was, they claim, thoroughly traumatized.
An enraged Alahmar accused the dastardly future Trump employer 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 Hamas-linked 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.” Willfully? Is McDonald’s really in the business of trying to humiliate and mock its customers? MCAD thinks so, as it has now ruled that “a fact-finder may reasonably conclude” that giving Alahmar bacon was “not in error.” Thus it must have been the act of a dastardly “Islamophobe.”
In its own defense, McDonald’s reminded the commission that this happened during the COVID madness, and a plexiglass barrier between the customers and the employees made it hard to hear at times. Could the Alahmars have said that they wanted no pork and the employee simply didn’t hear the order correctly and thought they were asking for pork? Do random “Islamophobes” get jobs at McDonald’s just so they can wait for a moment to spring pork upon poor, unsuspecting Muslims? This seems unlikely on its face. Nor did the offending employee or anyone else make any “Islamophobic” remarks. And when Alahmar complained, the manager apologized and refunded their money.
McDonald’s “vehemently denies that any of their employees purposely added bacon” to Alahmar’s order “to discriminate against her.” Nonetheless, MCAD found “probable cause,” so McDonald’s better be ready with its checkbook.
CAIR lawyer Barbara Dougin unintentionally revealed what this is all about when she said that “religious discrimination at a place of public accommodation is not only illegal, but also morally reprehensible,” and added that “the complaint is the first step in the process for seeking monetary damages.” Ah yes. There it is. Also, according to AP, “she also hopes it prompts McDonald’s to better train its workers to prevent a similar incident in the future.” Who will carry out that sensitivity training? Why, CAIR, of course. And they don’t work for free.
Thus what we have here appears to be another shakedown attempt. McDonald’s is a big corporation with lots of money. It doesn’t want a lot of negative publicity from CAIR’s Ibrahim Hooper and his sinister crew calling it “Islamophobic.” So it will likely hand a fat stack of Benjys over to CAIR and Ghadir Alahmar to make this go away. Works like a charm.
Wow, isn’t diversity wonderful!
I’ve been to McDonald’s PLENTY of times and it doesn’t have a lot of bacon on its menu. In fact, it has nearly NONE.
This is just another islamopithecine claim of “islamophobia,” as if pisslam isn’t the most pampered cult in the country and and Moslem women who submit to defilement by subhumans aren’t lying WHORES.
The sickest thing is that the bitch had her children lie against their own country. What a nasty cunt.
Their own country? Do you really believe they think of America as their country? Only as far as they will try to take it over. I hope McDonald’s stands their ground. There is little to no proof of this actually happening since it was so long ago.
I was at a McDonalds on the 1st they were showing CNN Fake News most everybody there including me mostly ignored the CNN/Fake News
Wait… you can get bacon on a filet o’fish sandwich?
I don’t like fish but I didn’t know people would do that on purpose, lol.
Gee.
To think of all the lawsuits I and my Kosher friends passed up when we were young.
Muslims are cry-bullies……and vulgararians
That reminds me a story my Cantor told me while studying the Maftir for my Bar Mitzvah over 50 years ago…..He was on a morning flight back in the day where they served meals. He had ordered a kosher meal, but while eating it, he discovered a pork sausage patty under the eggs.
Here’s how he handled it. He rang for the flight attendant, and explained what had happened. The attendant apologized, and replaced the meal with a kosher one. He told her “thank you”, and got on with his meal, flight, and life.
But the story here is about “muslims”. The permanent victims. Always aggrieved.
You just gave away your age to wihin a few years.
You are about the same age as me.
I’ll remember this if an when I reply to you comments: that we likely have similar pop cultural signposts (in additionrhe the expected Jewish ones).
😏
Ahhh, my typing betrays me this morning.
in addition to the …
if and when I reply your …
Do the stack of Benjys once and they’ll never stop. Don’t do it Mickey D’s. It’s a grift, obviously.
I guess the muj don’t like my posts today. Too effing bad Mohammed.
I suspect some readers were confused.
You and I both know you’re referring to $100 bills.
But some folks are easily triggered.
After 9-11, in which Muslim terrorists attacked the U.S., I took CAIR up on its offer for a Quran gratis. I read it along with many other books on Islam such as those authored by Spencer. I now fully understand why so much violence continues to be committed in the name of Islam. I understand why Muslim men consider women inferior. I understand why one country wants to lower the legal age of marriage for girls–they’re not “women” yet–to 9 years old..
Left out of the complaint against McDonald’s was “and we want the infidels to submit.”
9-11, Never Forget! Lanastaslem
We already forgot. There are radical Muslims in the US Congress.
If the clown food store fried its delicacies in hog’s fat, the problem would go away.
So do not eat there if they serve foods you do not eat. I don’t eat there.
So, did she go back to McDonalds to complain? Did she go back to show the employees the sandwich full of bacon? I smell a scam.
Fee, Fi, Film, Flam ~
I smell the sh°t of a Muslim Scam ~
Islamophobia is a badge of honor. Nobody should be FORCED to bow down to the ideology of pedophiles, rapists and terrorists.
Diversity is not healthy for Children and other Living Things
I doubt they hate you. I do however. Your people kill mine
Is there any actual proof that the fish sandwich had bacon on it?
Or is this just a claim?
I like ordering fish sandwiches and I have never had one come with any type of meat on it.
If this happened in 2021, what makes you think they will just cut a check? They left the building for crying out loud.
Where’s the proof? Did she keep the evidence? “It is commonly known that Islam forbids Muslims from eating pork.” Commonly known does not mean everybody knows it. I find it quite suspicious when this allegedly happened in the bastion of leftist stupidity,. Massachusetts,
Back in 1997-99 I managed a Pizza hut in a midwestern city. I recall one day that a couple of guys came in and asked about pizza without pork. They explained they were muslim and that their religion forbad eating pork. Could we please make a pizza?
Sure, no problem. . they got a pizza, and it had no pork. . .
But at the same time, we were well aware of what had happened with the World Trade Center in 1993, Bin Ladan’s declaration of war against the west in 1997, and the hijacking in 1985 of the Achille Laro and murder of Leon Klinghoffer. And of course the events of the US Embassy in Iran back in 79.
I considered giving them some pork, but was respectful and did not. I doubt they would have done the same thing for an American.
Meanwhile, over in Seattle, is THIS ISLAMOPHOBIA, TOO?

You’d have to be stupid NOT to be concerned (not afraid, though) with fundamental Islam. Or armed.
In Seattle?

You get a McShahidi Shake and a Jihadi Joe toy with every McSharia Sandwich combo.
Truly religious dietary scruples should require avoiding a place that cooks what is allowed and not allowed with the same cooking pots, ovens, or grills. It is not just a matter of the item served since that could be contaminated.
While the general rule should be no more laws …
Protected classification laws need to be updated immediately …
… to make American a protected nationality,
… to make White a protected race,
… to make Christian a protected religion, (and we should include Jewish to remind the Muslims that that one was included the first time around) …
… to give taxpayers standing for corruption,
… to give voters standing for election fraud,
And among other tweaks …
… the American flag, bacon, watermelon, MAGA hats, cowboy paraphernalia, etc.,
… cannot be de facto evidence of discrimination.
Why would they even mention “without bacon” when ordering a fish sandwich? Since when is bacon even an option? Total scam.
