Re: Muslim Pharmacist Refused To Give Pill Because "It Was Against His Religious Beliefs"
Mr. Fraudia, he also does not have a right to use his opinion to represent all the other muslims in the world. Islamic theology says that life doesn't start at conception, and I believe there is a set number of days written in the Quran or possibly a description in a hadith that solidifies that. Apparently, I'm hearing of some scholars going so far as to say that if its done in the first trimester, for various reasons, its okay (although that doesn't sound).
I don't think any muslim has the right to sit there and say that something is against Islam, when its not. He makes muslims look bad. Finito. And I agree - he needs to transplant himself somewhere where the state law coincides with his PERSONAL beliefs, and he needs to quit allying those beliefs with Islam. What a jerk.
