So, lets put one over on them!
“not what goes into the mouth defiles a man, but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.” Mathew 15:11
“Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside cannot defile him, since it enters, not his heart but his stomach, and so passes on?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) And he said, “What comes out of a man is what defiles a man. Mark 7:17-20
If you already purchased one, Say a blessing over it in the name of Our Lord Jesus (who conquers All), cook and then eat it.

I’m not sure. This is one to research. Thanking a false God when slaughtering an animal is a sin. Has been since Adam and Eve.
Coming along behind the sin and eating the animal? I’m not sure about that one. Seems borderline at best. I’m willing to listen.

Okay. Using the web to poke around I find that Halal meat has been prayed over by Muslims. It is a requirement for Halal. Here is a chapter from the Bible,
The Believers Freedom
23Everything is permissiblebut not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissiblebut not everything is constructive. 24Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.
25Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, 26for, The earth is the Lords, and everything in it.c
27If some unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience. 28But if anyone says to you, This has been offered in sacrifice, then do not eat it, both for the sake of the man who told you and for conscience saked 29the other mans conscience, I mean, not yours. For why should my freedom be judged by anothers conscience? 30If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for?
31So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 32Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God 33even as I try to please everybody in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.
So this seems to say, if you don't know it was sacrificed to Allah, don't ask and worry about it. If you do know it was sacrificed to Allah, "then do not eat it, both for the sake of the man who told you and for conscience."
Agree?
