Why is this even a story? Would Birmingham Live, or any of the other “news” outlets that have run variations of the article below, publish an article about an observant Jewish man who was unknowingly consuming pork, or a Hindu who accidentally ate beef? Of course not. But Muslim victimhood is a big business for Islamic advocacy groups in both the UK and the US, and in the absence of genuinely victimized Muslims, a Muslim eating the wrong McMuffin will have to do. If Allah is really compassionate and merciful, he’ll overlook Fida Hussain’s inadvertent transgression, but that possibility is nowhere mentioned.
Also, in all my years I’ve never been served pork inadvertently. Have you? Yet this keeps happening to Muslims. A few examples:
Michigan: Muslim sues Little Caesars for $100 million over pepperoni pizza
Shock horror in UK: Muslim parents find pork in cheese and onion rolls bought at supermarket
UK: Lunch lady fired for inadvertently serving pork to Muslim student
“Unforgivable”: UK Muslim bites pork roll incorrectly labeled as cheese
Why does this keep happening? Could it be that the complainants realize they have found a cash cow, or cash pig in this case?
“Fury as Muslim McDonald’s customer mistakenly bites into sausage and egg McMuffin,” by Cathrina Hulse-BM, Birmingham Live, January 3, 2020:
A practising Muslim has hit out at McDonald’s after he bit into a sausage McMuffin in error.
Fida Hussain from Small Heath claims tasting the pork roll has left him ‘devastated’ after avoiding the meat his whole life in line with his faith.
The 49-year-old is now demanding an apology and compensation from the fast-food giant.
Fida, who lives in Cooksey Road , goes to the drive-thru at McDonald’s in Small Heath for a breakfast deal every morning, comprising of an egg and cheese mcMuffin, hash brown and a coffee.
He says on December 17, he made his usual journey to the Coventry Road restaurant and took the food home.
Fida Hussain.“I trusted them, he explains. “I was watching Judge Judy and bit into the McMuffin and knew instantly when I tasted it that it was meat.
“The taste was horrible, I knew straightaway and spat it out. It’s just completely wrong. It’s a sensitive subject, it could happen to anyone, vegan or if a person is on a particular diet.”
The former self-employed courier claims he returned immediately to the eatery and spoke to both a female and male manager who advised him to complain online via details on the reverse of his receipt.
“The woman tried to tell me ‘can we keep it quiet and deal with it in store’ but obviously I was not happy at all.”
The father-of-four added: “I am a practising Muslim with a nice, long beard and proud of it so they knew. I’ve kept myself away from it (pork) all my life.
” McDonald’s is a big name, it’s a huge retailer. They shouldn’t make mistakes like this.”…
