| McDonald's drops halal food from U.S. menu |
| 2013-06-25 |
| There have been only two McDonald's restaurants in the U.S. that have offered halal food. Both were in east Dearborn, Mich., which has a sizable population of Arab-American Muslims. But after a contentious lawsuit that accused the restaurant chain of selling non-halal items advertised as halal, McDonald's has yanked its Halal Chicken McNuggets and Halal McChicken sandwiches off the menu. The move brings to an end a unique product that made the two McDonald's restaurants popular with Muslims. |

| #5 mcdonalds is probably happy w the result; there probably wasn't a steady enough supply of halal products at a price they could deal with They will have a good reason to say that we will never have another halal outlet. |

| #4 The move brings to an end a unique product that made the two McDonald's restaurants popular with Muslims. Bullshit. The MSM just can't help itself when it comes to spinning. If the restaurants were so freaking popular, why were they being sued? As Tony Soprano said, "You don't shit where you eat." |

| #3 The Muslims were trying to hold up McDonalds for money in a shakedown through the courts? So why didn't they go where halal food was available. You don't go to Outback Steakhouse looking for vegan food or for kosher food. Or they could start their own restaurant chain and call it McMuslim's or the Halal Express. Quit harassing McDonalds. |

| #1 They should go a step further and pull out of Dearborn entirely. Play with fire, you get burned. |
