I don't read Arabic, but a translation of the Koran I has does not say that
the mother should wean at 2 years.  It says "the mothers shall give suck for
two full years".  This does not read, at least to me, that they have to stop
at two years, but rather that they should continue at least two years.
Furthermore, many of the Muslim mothers I have seen continue well past two
years, *especially* those who are devout.
