Minn. Islamic group wants investigation into fast-food toys

The Minnesota chapter of the Council on America-Islamic Relations is calling for an investigation into a complaint made against the Long John Silver's restaurant in Mall of America.

CAIR-MN wants the restaurants parent company, Yum! Brands, to look into claims that religious literature was distributed with a children's meal.

According to CAIR-MN, a Muslim family visited the restaurant in November and ordered a children's meal for their three-year-old son. The toy that came with the meal was a notepad that featured a quote from the Bible. The family requested an alternative toy, but said only notepads with Bible versus were available.

CAIR-MN wants Yum! Brands to review their toy distribution policy.

Besides Long John Silver's, Yum! Brands owns KFC Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and A&W All-American Food.
