 * Nusrat Choudhury.jpg

No hijab
Chowdhury is a cultural Muslim--not of the extremist anti-liberal type. 2601:C4:C300:2890:8094:5EB4:CAE5:BCD2 (talk) 18:59, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

"moderate Muslim"
I can't believe that this term is being used. This implies that the typical Muslim is a terrorist, so it needs to be pointed out that she is not. Pretty bad, Wikipedia. WikiAlto (talk) 22:39, 16 June 2023 (UTC)


 * How about Cultural Muslim? --2601:C4:C300:2890:8094:5EB4:CAE5:BCD2 (talk) 02:41, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * To me at least, the only thing that's relevant is "Muslim". "Cultural", "Moderate", or some other label that accompanies it is unnecessary and irrelevant. Losipov (talk) 02:44, 17 June 2023 (UTC)


 * That would be like saying a Jehovah's Witness or a Mormon is a "Christian." There is no monolithic Muslim; for example, Ahmadiyya are "Muslim" while the Islamic Republic of Pakistan see them as heretic; Iranian dervishes are "Muslim" but the Islamic Republic of Iran completely marginalizes them and sees them as heretics.--2601:C4:C300:2890:8094:5EB4:CAE5:BCD2 (talk) 02:53, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * In the context of this article, differences among branches of religion don't really seem to be relevant when the point is that she's the only Muslim woman ever elevated to a federal judgeship  If the goal is to make a point about the conservatism of other Muslims (the views of Pakistani and Iranian Muslims, above) it seems misplaced here. If I'm missing the point please explain why it's important for the readers of this article.  Oblivy (talk) 05:23, 17 June 2023 (UTC)


 * This "Muslim" label is vague. Okay, the average Nazi in the 1930s didn't want to kill Jews in Germany. Most Nazis didn't want to invade Poland. Some Nazis even wanted to kill Hitler. I don't see a need to whitewash for extremist Muslims who want to take away LGBT rights, subjugate women with hijab, etc. As a U.S. federal judge, she should be expected to clearly explain her stances on civil rights and condemn extremist Muslim practices in the western and southern Asia.2601:C4:C300:2890:752F:EC96:52D1:D6A8 (talk) 13:36, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for removing "moderate". Also, I apologize for the tone of my original post, above. That was unnecessary.
 * [BTW, I see that there's still a link to "Moderate Muslim" at the bottom of the article. Since there are many millions of moderate muslims, I'm not sure why that's there. :) ] WikiAlto (talk) 11:07, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
