the title is inaccurate

It is worse than inaccurate: it is partisan

I agree. As I recall, I fixed a problem or two of the same sort in the body of the article while I was reviewing it; but it's surprisingly easy, when reviewing an article, to miss a problem like this with the headline.

My immediate reaction (as seen above) was, yeah, that headline is not ideal. On further thought I'm not convinced it's partisan; it doesn't seem entirely accurate, though. The judge in this article didn't halt the ban, just part of it.

Oh dear. The headline seems pretty straightforward to me. What part of it do you see as partisan? The fact that it was seven Muslim countries and not all Muslim countries? I'm asking because I'm working on a follow-up article and I wouldn't want to repeat the problem.
