In the section on Saudi Arabia, it is mentioned that "Honor killings are common and the government does little to stop them because this is supported by Sharia law [3]." However, the source it cites actually says that it isn't. It does mention that some countries have provisions for that in their penal codes, but it doesn't mention even obliquely that Sharia law supports it.
the US is irrelevant to this article, at least in its present form. Xtra 06:48, 16 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, whose population is almost entirely Muslim, scores pretty well on most indices of human rights.
Mayotte is effectively part of France so I am sceptical about its low marking.
Bosnia Herzegovina which seem to be jsut about majority Muslim is not included.
What is the point of this article? At most, it can be a disambig page. There is no content in this article, that can't be covered in any of the other articles. Infact, I see no content in this article that justifies its existence.Bless sins (talk) 01:32, 3 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
I don't understand why this article exists. We don't have Human rights in Christian countriesorHuman rights in Hindu countries, do we? While Human rights in Islam is a valid article, this isn't.VR talk 06:20, 22 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
The Modern western concept of human rights originated in countries that were originally Christian, so it is redundant to write two articles on human rights (Western and Christian)since the content would be essentially the same. Regardless of one's personal evaluation of the merit of various non-western concepts of human rights, it is indisputable that these concepts differ from western views on the subject.
This wiki is written in English which is a Western European language and, quite naturally and inevitably, approaches matters from a western cultural perspective. Your point would be valid if this wiki were written in Arabic, Farsi or Malay. Then the cultural viewpoint would be Muslim and an article on human rights in Christian nations would be quite naturally appropriate.

The Global Network for Rights and Development wrongly states that the United Arab Emirates has human rights on par with western democracies. That's an outright lie. The UAE is flooded with human rights violations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_the_United_Arab_Emirates
I think this list should be replaced with a more trustworthy source such as Freedom House or the Democracy Index. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_in_the_World#Middle_East_and_North_Africa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index#Democracy_index_by_country_.282014.29

Hello, I noticed that Qatar wasn't included in this article even though there were other countries part of the gulf region included. My suggestion is adding Qatar as there are many public information on their human rights laws. This would also open up the ability to compare the differences between Qatar and their neighbouring countries. Kaltham alsayed (talk) 18:33, 14 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
