Muslim Mac attack

McDONALD’S latest bid to attract more customers — Muslim fast-food lovers — has caused uproar among customers.
The fast-food chain has introduced halal products at two Melbourne restaurants, significantly boosting sales.
However some non-Muslim customers are furious they were not told their hamburger meat was slaughtered and blessed in accordance with Islamic rules laid down in the Koran.
McDonald’s consulted Muslim leaders before introducing halal products at its Brunswick East and St Albans stores.
Halal meat is from animals that have been killed facing Mecca and blessed using the name of Allah.
Brunswick East store assistant manager Nicholas Yacoub said the move had attracted a surge of new customers.
"It has pretty much doubled our sales," Mr Yacoub said.
The store does not tell drive-through customers about the change and has only one small sign inside advertising the move.
Coburg resident Miriam McLennan was stunned to discover the hamburger she bought from the Brunswick East store was blessed.
"Just as a Muslim would not want to eat anything that isn’t halal . . . I should have my rights to eat normal, ordinary food that hasn’t been blessed," she said.
A Catholic Church spokesman said non-Muslims deserved to know if the food was halal before buying. But he said there was no biblical reason for Christians to avoid halal food.
A McDonald’s spokeswoman said customers who did not want halal food should buy from any of its other stores.
Ten years ago, who would have thought anything about this. Back then we naively thought Islam was just another religion.
Now we know better.

How do Mooselimbs know the food has been prepared this way? What makes them think that burger isn’t beef mixed with soy, chicken eyeballs or better yet, pork? Hmmm, makes me want to go into the fast food business in Dearborn.

The muzzies, obsessed with wanting to kill and/or convert us all, know only too well how to use Western freedoms to advance their cause.
Serve ‘em up a - slaughtered while facing Mecca - sausage dog and some - blessed by Allah - super-size of bacon fries.

…by a white-robed man standing on his head singing traditional muslim songs while clenching his buttcheeks together really hard. The cow must also be pure of heart and intend to never enter the stomach of an infidel, otherwise he will never ascend to bovine heaven and be surrounded by 72 heifers with incredibly large udders (hubba hubba).
Do these people–and I use the term loosely–have a complicated, biggoted law for every situation or what?

The truth probably is….MacDonalds is serving the same old drywall encrusted pavement pies they say are hamburgers…..but telling unsuspecting muslims the food was blessed by a white robed terrorist screaming death to the west, or whatever passes for a blessing for muslims these days. I have never been a big fan of MacDonald’s, but the fact that they are trying to appease muslims means I will be going to Burger King instead…..I will never, ever- ever -ever appease murderers…..especially ones that hide behind a psuedo religion.
Just for laughs, I wonder is muslims realize that their halal burgers are cooked on the same grill as that good old bacon… and handled by minimum wage zitpoppers who arent exactly careful about what they touched last….

Years ago, I was a maintenance supervisor at a Goldkist chicken plant .
We had a contract to send approx. 4 million whole, frozen chickens to Saudi Arabia. When the chickens were being killed , there were a couple of Arabs sitting there mumbling something all day long.

“A self-proclaimed British multi-millionaire named Mohammad Islam who was arrested on the Gold Coast with almost $120,000 in cash is under investigation as to whether he has terrorist connections.”
