• French fast food chain expands halal-only outlets after sales double in trial
  A French fast food chain announced on Tuesday it would almost triple its line of halal hamburger restaurants because sales had doubled in a trial that sparked a heated debate about the integration of Muslims. The Quick chain of 358 restaurants around France said it would boost its halal-only outlets to 22 on Wednesday after the trial in eight areas with a strong Muslim population also saw a doubling of customers and a rise in the amounts they spent. Quick, which is a challenger to the U.S. hamburger chain McDonald's (MCD.N) and runs franchises in seven other countries including Belgium, Russia and Algeria, said the move was purely commercial. Many non-Muslims object to halal food because the associated method of animal slaughter is considered to be cruel to animals.
• Trial begins in Islamic charity tax case
  The prosecution said Monday the founder of the U.S. branch of an Islamic charity accused of trying to smuggle $150,000 to Muslim fighters in Chechnya took extreme steps to leave no paper trail. But the defense countered tax-form mistakes key to the prosecution's case were made by the charity's accountant, not the defendant. Pete Seda, also known as Pirouz Sedaghaty, is in U.S. District Court on charges of conspiracy, tax fraud and failing to report sending $150,000 out of the country. He has pleaded not guilty, contending the money was for refugees, not Muslim fighters trying to overthrow the government of Chechnya. Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Cardani told jurors in opening statements that Seda, an Iranian immigrant and naturalized U.S. citizen, became the boss of the U.S. chapter of Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation Inc., a charity based in Saudi Arabia. Cardani said the foundation was based on a radical form of Islam that distributed Qurans calling for holy war, and was dedicated to helping Muslim fighters battling the Russian Army in Chechnya. "One of the things you can't do if you are a charity in the United States is fund acts of violence," Cardani said. "The government is not accusing Mrs. Sedaghaty of being a terrorist."
• Group sues Ill. police over Muslim chaplain flap
  A Muslim advocacy group filed a federal discrimination lawsuit Monday over an Illinois State Police decision to revoke the appointment of the agency's first Muslim chaplain. Kifah Mustapha, a Chicago-area imam, was named a chaplain in December along with chaplains of other faiths. He underwent training, passed a background check and was issued state identification. But shortly after, the appointment was criticized by the Washington-based Investigative Project on Terrorism, which said Mustapha was a "radical fundraiser" and alleged he had links to Palestinian militant group Hamas. Mustapha hasn't been charged with any crimes and denied wrongdoing. According to the lawsuit filed on his behalf by the Council on American-Islamic Relations' Chicago office, Mustapha was then told by Illinois State Police that he had passed only a preliminary background check and another should have been conducted before the training. Mustapha was asked to submit paperwork for another check. In June, the police department revoked his appointment, citing only information revealed during a background check. According to the lawsuit, Mustapha was told by a police employee that articles by the investigative think tank prompted the second background check. The lawsuit claims the think tank is known for "anti-Muslim views" and alleges religious, national origin and racial discrimination on the part of police. Mustapha is a Lebanese Muslim of Palestinian descent. It also alleges Mustapha was denied his First Amendment right to freedom of association, which prohibits the government from imposing guilt by association.
• Saudi cleric slammed over fatwa on women cashiers
  Saudi Arabia's most senior religious leader has ordered a conservative cleric to stop giving unauthorized edicts after his call for boycotting a supermarket chain that employs women as cashiers. Sheik Youssef al-Ahmed had urged people not to shop at Panda Supermarket because women there work in jobs that allow for the mingling of the sexes. Al-Ahmed says this is a violation of Islamic law. RNB: Can you believe that story is datelined August, 2010...?
• Pastor says armed militia to protect church during Quran-burning event
  From our Religious Insanity file: An armed Christian organization, Right Wing Extreme, will protect a church that is planning to host an "International Burn a Quran Day" on the ninth anniversary of September 11, the church's pastor said on Tuesday. The Dove World Outreach Center, in Gainesville, Florida, says it is hosting the event to remember 9/11 victims and to take a stand against Islam. With promotions on its website and Facebook page, the nondenominational church invites Christians to burn the Muslim holy book. Dove World Outreach Center Pastor Terry Jones has accepted the support of Right Wing Extreme, which he said offered to come to the church with between 500 and 2,000 men on September 11. He described the organization as an armed civilian militia group. "There is a need for this protection. It is absolutely necessary in light of the death and terror threats we have received," Jones said in an e-mail to CNN. Muslims and many other Christians, including some evangelicals, are fighting the church's plan to burn the Quran. We can be sure of this: 'Pastor' Terry Jones might as well burn his Bible -- since he either has not read it or does not intent to obey its teachings.
