Why do you find that hard to believe?
Muslim faith allows no birth controll, nor divorce - if im not mistaken. That means a child every 2 years or less. A woman has approximately 26 child bearing years (and remember this group marries young). That is 13 children with no twins.

For the record, I have been with my wife 14 years, and have 8 children - no twins.
No I am not Muslim, and I am from European heritage.

Edit : I stand corrected. As a couple posters below with better knowledge of Muslim beliefs have posted below, Divorce is allowed, and birth control is at best controversial.
