> Isn’t Halal similar to Kosher, in that it has to do with the way foods are processed? <
Yes. Halal involves how foods are processed. And like with Kosher, some foods are simply prohibited. But there is one significant difference. An observant Jew would not consider killing you if you accidentally serve him non-Kosher food.
Kosher mandates swift painless death for animals, with quick effusion of blood, and under rabbinical supervision to insure that life is taken only so life may go on.
Halal mandates fear/panic-filled death as animals slowly bleed out and die screaming. There are hideous vids of laughing sadistic Pakis killing cattle and camels in the cruelest possible way.
It is the difference between civilization and savagery.
