Bahar bin Sumayt: what Wikipedia removed
Bahar bin Sumayt, an Indonesian preacher closely tied to the hardline Islamic Defenders Front. The October 2023 snapshot labeled him Indonesia Islamist scholar. The opening today calls him an Indonesian Islamic scholar, though Islamist survives once elsewhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that the opening once specifically labeled him an Islamist rather than an Islamic scholar.
The word “islamist” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 6 October 2023. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 1. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.

Counts are of the opening paragraph only, the part most readers, search engines and AI training sets ever quote.
What was taken out
Section titled “What was taken out”- The tag identifying him as an Indonesia Islamist scholar is gone from the opening; a reader no longer sees that specific label.
- The opening’s naming sentence was reworded with additional romanized transliterations; no designation-related fact changed.
- The sentence describing him as a preacher who provokes the masses was reworded slightly; the substance of the description is retained.
