Your second paragraph begins with "The main reason is that" by what follows is not really a reason, though it's an interesting tidbit. When kosher and/or halal adherents accept the others' standards, it's because they believe it is at least a strict as their own. Kind of like how a vegetarian will eat food labeled as vegan.
But like another commenter pointed out, interpretations of these rules vary widely among practitioners so making blanket statements about who might eat what is difficult.
- teleforce 6y agoPlease note that I'm not a scholar of Islamic or Jewish study and don't take my comments seriously. OK I will re-phrase that to "one of the main reasons" since for the meat to be considered halal it needs to fulfill two main requirements. Firstly it must be slaughtered by the name of one God and secondly it must be slaughtered with proper procedures. For most religions, the practices are always come down to spiritual and physical aspects, and as you probably can deduce that the first one is the spiritual aspect of it. Having said that, Quran refer to the Jews and Christians as "People of the Book"[1], and that's the main reason some of their rulings are acceptable in Islam. Another fun fact is that "Moses" is mentioned by name more than any other prophet names including "Muhammad" inside the Quran [2][3], and there is also one Chapter "Mary" referring to the Jesus' mother.
