The systemic bias, which stems from the fact that most contributors are living in anglophone countries, where islamist terrorist attacks occured, which resulted in widespread anti-islam bias, is IMHO bad enough. You don't believe me? Well, read it up on [[Islamophobia]] and it's talk page.
There is systemic bias, no question. This analysis is unhelpful for a few reasons.
- Islamist terrorist attacks are by no means limited to anglophone countries. - Anti-Islam feeling is not restricted to anglophone countries either. - The real issue with systemic bias is not that it contributes to _systematic_ bias. WP policy directly targets systematic bias, since the NPOV policy says quite clearly that it is not acceptable. It may be there, but it is not acceptable in the encyclopedia. Systemic bias manifests itself, for example, in the distribution of articles by sector, even if those articles are all good.
