  • The Halal / Kosher Chart
    THE HALAL / KOSHER CHART The Charting Process Given the current climate and issues surrounding Kosher and Halal, the original intention was to create a simple Halal/Kosher comparison chart. On first appearances, it seemed that similarities far outweighed differences. An outcome of creating this chart, indicates that this belief is unsustainable. Information gathered fell into four areas, which appeared to parallel their commonalities. Scriptures and Laws Slaughter and its ramifications Certification Impact on consumers What seemed at first to involve a simple exercise in a comparison of commonalities demanded the exact opposite, an exercise in attending to the detail, for it is here that vast differences arise. What soon became evident was that the differences far outweigh any similarity. On reviewing the limited Halal / Kosher comparative literature, it soon became apparent that vital basic details have not been addressed adequately, if at all. Too abundant to include in this chart, are all the multifaceted, detailed Kosher laws and rabbinical responses. While there are some great rabbinical experts in Kosher, they don’t seem familiar with the details of Halal. Similarly, Imams or other writers, tend to have little knowledge of the intricacies of Kosher. Limited perspectives have contributed to many people’s belief that Halal and Kosher are two historical peas in a slaughterhouse, The media has oversimplified and enmeshed these ostensible twins, often calling for a ban on all forms of ritual meat preparation. It is well accepted that Kosher was the blueprint for Halal. Most Muslims will eat Kosher and accept Kosher-certified goods. However, in the detail, Halal is miles away from anything that resembles Kosher.
