Muslim

The term "Muslim" appears in recent news articles in various contexts, reflecting the diversity of issues impacting Muslim communities globally. In Kashmir, India, concerns are raised about the profiling of mosques, perceived as increased state control over religious institutions. A separate article discusses the closure of a medical college in Kashmir after a majority of admissions went to Muslim students, sparking controversy and accusations of discrimination from Hindu groups. Finally, in the Gambia, Muslim leaders and an MP are challenging the ban on female genital mutilation (FGM) in the supreme court, a case that highlights ongoing debates about women's rights and cultural practices. These articles demonstrate the diverse challenges and issues facing Muslim communities worldwide, ranging from religious freedom and access to education to cultural practices and women's rights.
