Christians can eat any foods. We are "freed from the Law of sin and death." Its not like you believe that the halal is going to poison you or anything. However, you should let the Spirit be your guide.

The chief concerns for Christians eating halal meat seem to center around the Name of Allah being pronounced over halal meat, and whether Allah is just another Name of God or not, possibly setting up an 'eating meat offered to idols' scenario, when even The Bible says that God does not care about this, as idols are imaginary, powerless; but you may offend other, weaker Christians by doing so. While it serves the Powers That Be to intimate that Allah is not God, in order to keep us divided, and we cannot decide for you, it is probably best as a Christian to determine ones opinion of Muslims from something other than the Network news. The relevant passage here, from 1 Corinthians 10:

23"I have the right to do anything," you say-but not everything is beneficial. "I have the right to do anything"-but not everything is constructive. 24No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.

25Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, 26for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."f

27If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience. 28But if someone says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience. 29I am referring to the other person's conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom being judged by another's 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 everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.

See that halal meat has not been 'sacrificed' in this way at any rate. Our suggestion is to ignore the legalistic Christians who choose the Law of sin and death over Christ, while abstaining from meat sacrificed to idols when you eat with them.
