Rashputin, I think the Muslim theory and practice on abortion varies from place to place. When my friend E.L. was doing pro-life work in Nigeria, she allied with Muslims who opposed abortion and, even, contraception.

They probably aren't the majority with Islam, but their influence in certain regions is substantial. They have even successfully joined forces with African Anglicans and Catholics in order to block U.N. population control programs in Africa.

Nigeria is also a black African country, as Egypt (Misr) is an Arab country. Faith looks a bit different I think in those countries. Culture HAS to define the religious practices to some extent.
I always found it IMPOSSIBLE to explain to any American about the middle east. Your words about Nigeria and the Muslim opposition to abortion/contraception will undoubtedly be twisted by those with nothing but hate for Islam/Muslims.
Odd behavior for folks who claim to be Christian.

There is so much hatred, it seems, of anything about Islam. It seems that some folks forget that they are human beings who, in general, strive to do good.
Condemning ALL the people who practice a faith for the evil that a VERY small number of those people do makes no sense. It doesn't seem to be a very Christian way of practicing their faith when they talk like that about Muslims/Islam.

Thank you for your informative words.
