Halal demand on the rise in the US despite fears over Islamophobia

Halal food is becoming increasingly popular in the United States but
that's not simply tied to a growing Muslim population.

The specially prepared meat is being embraced by some major

sales.

can provide a true taste of what the Muslim community brings to the
table.
