McDonald's Dinged for Misrepresenting Non-Halal McNuggets as Halal

Call it a tasty little victory for sharia (h/t: VR):

DEARBORN, Mich. — McDonald's Corp. and a franchise owner have reached a tentative settlement in a lawsuit alleging that food at a Detroit-area restaurant with a large Muslim customer base wasn't prepared according to Islamic dietary laws as advertised.  

McDonald's and Finley's Management Co. agreed Friday to pay $700,000. The money will be shared by Dearborn Heights resident Ahmed Ahmed, a Detroit health clinic, the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn and lawyers.

Ahmed's attorney, Kassem Daklallah, told The Associated Press on Monday that he's "thrilled" with the preliminary deal. McDonald's and Finley's Management deny any liability but say the settlement is in their best interests...

No kidding.
