A Muslim organization is calling for the firing of McDonald’s employees in Decatur, Ala., after a Muslim family claimed to have found pieces of bacon hidden in their McChicken sandwiches. “The bacon was either on top of the chicken or hidden underneath within the sandwich so (the consumer) couldn’t tell if it was there or not,” said Khuala Hadeed, the head of the Alabama’s Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), in a statement to the Decatur Daily. Hadeed is also calling the

incident “an intentional act of religious and ethnic bigotry,” as Islam forbids its followers from eating pork, reports AL.com. According to Hadeed, the family was visiting from New York when they stopped by McDonald’s for a bite to eat.
