Bias towards justifying sharia law and female dress codeedit
Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion
As far as I can tell there is a heavy bias in this article towards justifying Islamic beliefs on the role of women. Framing Sharia Law as "law which provides men and women with different rights and responsibilities" is disingenuous. It's factually correct, but not an accurate summary, since the rights of women are significantly less.
Commentary on the female dress code is problematic as well.
"The cotton burqa is symbolic of the expectations of the ideal woman and act as a mark of respect to represent her modesty and honor as well as her status." I don't think this is a NPOV of the requirement that women wear burqas. Letharis (talk) 22:28, 31 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
