While visiting Decatur from New York, a family stopped at McDonald’s and ordered 14 McChicken sandwiches, AL.com reports. While eating, they noticed a strange taste and discovered bacon—prohibited in Islam.They eat McChicken all the time. They knew what they ordered,” said Khaula Hadeed, head of Alabama’s CAIR chapter. Hadeed called the incident “an intentional act of religious and ethnic bigotry,” arguing it’s unlikely a mistake would occur on all 14 sandwiches,
One adult reportedly vomited twice, and Hadeed is demanding an investigation, employee terminations, and an apology.The incident sparked debate online. Some supported the family, with one commenter saying, “I believe some nasty fool stuck bacon in their sandwiches to humiliate them. That’s UnAmerican.”
