Furious Muslim man demands £5,000 payout – because he was 'served PORK'
A MUSLIM man is demanding £5,000 in compensation after allegedly being served PORK at a restaurant.
Karim Kazane claims he was served pork by Zizzi
Karim Kazane, 23, slammed Zizzi as "disgraceful" and "insensitive" after he apparently discovered pepperoni – which is not halal – in his meal.
He claimed to have "lost trust in eating out" since the incident in 2012, saying: "I believe Zizzi have taken that social freedom [I] once had away."
Kazane said his meal was advertised as containing beef and chicken, which are both halal – but not pork.
He has sent a string of complaints to the Italian chain but claimed that he has not been taken seriously.
He said: "I just felt like I was really belittled by them. I want them to know it's a serious situation that faces Muslims all the time.
"They know they’ve got all the money they need to defend themselves and I don't."
Kazane claimed that his mother has faced similar problems at the chain's branch in Winchester, Hampshire.
He said: "This is not okay and Zizzi should not be allowed to get away with it. People need awareness that their service is disgraceful and very insensitive."
A spokesman for Zizzi declined to comment.
