In Eretz Yisroel, before the medina came around, yiddishe shochtim used to schecht animals for the Arabs and sell them the meat. In order for it to be “Halal” (the Muslim version of kosher) the butcher had to say the words “Allah Akubar” before each shechita, which the yiddishe shochtim did in order that it should be sellable to the Arabs.
