Avi is right about the relationship between Muslim and Jewish dietary laws.
Actually Jewish and Muslim jurisprudence are very similar.  BUT!  I believe
that a Muslim would have problems buying his meat from a kosher butcher.
In Islam you slaughter an animal by slashing the main artery of the neck,
then you have to wait until the blood is completely discharged before you can
cut the meat ( it may be cruel but it is supposedly better for you.)  Now,
would kosher meat satisfy this?  I do not think so.  There are also problems
with other rules added to the procedure by people; such as saying the name of
God first, giving water to the animal, making the animal face Mecca, etc.

P.S.  If you consider all the religious, cultural, lingual, and even racial
similarities between the Muslim Arabs and Jewish Israelis, ...
But then that's another story.
