Inayat Bunglawala: what Wikipedia removed
Inayat Bunglawala was media secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain and a co-presenter on the Islam Channel. Through 2015 the opening described him as an activist for Islamist concerns who joined The Young Muslims UK in 1987. Today the opening says only that he joined The Young Muslims UK, and the word Islamist does not appear anywhere in the article. A reader arriving now learns Bunglawala joined a Muslim youth group and not what kind of activism he was known for.
The word “islamist” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2010. Today it appears nowhere in the article at all, references included. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
