Feiz Mohammad: what Wikipedia removed
Feiz Mohammad is an Australian Muslim preacher. The 2015 opening quoted former US Senator Joseph Lieberman’s book describing him as providing a level of religious justification for Islamist terrorist violence, alongside Anwar al-Awlaki and Abdullah el-Faisal. Today’s opening reads only that he is an Australian Muslim preacher, and terror survives 12 times elsewhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that a US senator’s book named him alongside al-Awlaki as a source of religious justification for terrorist violence.
The word “terror” appeared 3 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2015. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 12. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
