Animals sacrificed to other than God

Paul claims that since there is no deity other than God, therefore no one can sacrifice to other than God, but the Quran says Uhilah to other than God. Paul also says don't want to repel people if they are offended that think all food is lawful, so to avoid repelling, adjust your stance accordingly, but also to set an example, do not eat meat dedicated to an idol if it is presented to you in that light.
7 However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, through being hitherto accustomed to idols, eat food as really offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do. 9 Only take care lest this liberty of yours somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. 10 For if any one sees you, a man of knowledge, at table in an idol’s temple, might he not be encouraged, if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols? 11 And so by your knowledge this weak man is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. 12 Thus, sinning against your brethren and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if food is a cause of my brother’s falling, I will never eat meat, lest I cause my brother to fall.
