Muslim man sues Little Caesars, claiming 'halal' was a lie in Dearborn

[Dashinka 25,867]

I have sympathy for this guy not getting what was advertised, but really, $100M?

 

A Muslim man is suing Little Caesars for $100 million after he says he was served and then accidentally ate pepperoni made with pork, a food prohibited by Islamic law. 

The complaint says Mohamad Bazzi of Dearborn ordered halal pizza twice from the shop on Schaefer in Dearborn. The boxes were labeled "halal," but the pies inside were topped with regular pepperoni. 

Majed Moughni, Bazzi's attorney, said he rushed to file the lawsuit Thursday, the eve of Ramadan, so no other Muslims would accidentally eat pork from the pizza shop during the holiday.

Ridiculous? Yes.

 

Does it go anywhere? It's anyone's guess. Let me remind you this:

The McDonald’s Hot Coffee Case
It is the case that gave rise to the attacks on “frivolous lawsuits” in the United States. Almost everyone seems to know about it. And there’s a good chance everything you know about it is wrong.

In 1992, 79-year-old Stella Liebeck bought a cup of takeout coffee at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Albuquerque and spilled it on her lap. She sued McDonald’s and a jury awarded her nearly $3 million in punitive damages for the burns she suffered.

Well this lady just won $100,000 against Starbucks. https://www.eater.com/2017/5/19/15662790/starbucks-hot-coffee-lawsuit-florida-100k

I imagine this man would go for such a high payout because, while eating non-halal didn't cause him physical injury, it caused him to do something sinful and offensive to his god. I assume the sky is the limit for something like that... probably will settle just to make it go away.

 

But it's happened before like: http://nypost.com/2015/02/13/man-sues-trump-hotel-after-being-served-non-kosher-sandwich/

Nobody can accuse this man of not assimilating...ever!  He's got the frivolous lawsuit chapter of the American handbook down.

Careful, you're starting to assimilate.

That's what one gets for eating Little Caesars.
