Changing the Picture of Aafia Siddiqui

In Islam the hair must be covered, so showing photos of her hair uncovered is not good. Here are 2 photos with her hair covered:

The current photo is public domain; the images you linked are not. Also, see WP:CENSOR for why the best and free-est image will be used regardless of local customs. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 01:56, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

I do not know of any public domain photos of her hair covered on the net. Also, I understand the WP:CENSOR policy, but it's better than saying nothing...So I'm going to say something about this one last time and I hope you guys re-consider this situation. If we can't find any public domain images of her with her hair covered, then I suggest we don't put a picture at all. Kiwix 23:01, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

The photos reflect her at specific times in her life. To change those around would be to change her history in order to line up with your version of Islam. That's why we have guidelines such as WP:CENSOR. Or if that doesn't satisfy, Wikipedia usually does not placate people for a very good reason. Say we go to the Wikipedia article on the headscarf, and I note that one of the verses from the Koran used to defend the headscarf says it's for the woman's protection since men are undisciplined dogs, summing up. I find that offensive, so I call for that verse to be removed, then call for the article to be removed for lack of citations. Satisfying everyone is not possible, so refer to the guidelines for appropriate usage and try not to alter history in order to suit your own personal preference. 124.170.22.217 (talk) 05:49, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

The qur'an does not say men are undisciplined dogs. We are all from Adam and Eve and among us are disbelievers, believers, and hypocrites. Overall it is better for a woman to have a headscarf and that IS Islam. I'm not going to say anything further; I just wanted to point this out. I tried and God is a witness to that.

It's absolutely false to imply that Islam requires the usage of an hijab for women. Muslims differ on it.Shabeki (talk) 14:44, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Let's show her with her hair covered, after we've stretch her neck with a rope. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.175.212.44 (talk) 15:10, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Grammar note

In the Family and Early Life section it states "She belongs to Urdu speaking community of karachi". It says Urdu speaking so I'm assuming it means a community that speaks the language, but is it "a Urdu speaking community", "the Urdu speaking community". At the moment it's almost better being deleted since it doesn't really say anything and can't be rephrased to include the information without further knowledge. 124.170.22.217 (talk) 14:56, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Where is the references documenting her citizenship?
