Male refused treatment by female doctor

The case in Turkey is not certain. A leading newspaper of Turkey, Hurriyet, made this report headline, but the initial investigation cast doubt if this case was really so. Because the accused female doctor was on the leave, at the time when the report claimed her to refuse treatment to a male patient. Moreover, she does not wear headscarf.

My take on the report and following comments is that the media and critics of Islam does not feel to be careful to charge the Muslims with unsubstantiated claims. Of course, criticism is a part of democracy...

thanks.
