Halal food is very similar to Kosher food in the way it is slaughtered and prepared...

I worked at a Kosher Supermarket/Deli when in HS/College and we had many Muslim customers who shopped there, since there were no Halal Markets locally...

That's how I met Kareem Abdul-Jabbar... I waited on him from behind the deli counter. Behind the counter was a step up, and we typically looked down at the customers. I'm 6' 1", and even one step up, he towered over me. Such a nice gentleman. I shook hands with him... It was like shaking hands with a spider!

Nice answer, thanks. And for the interesting story too.
