Islamisk Trossamfund: what Wikipedia removed
Islamisk Trossamfund is a Danish Muslim organisation founded by Ahmad Abu Laban, known for organizing the international response to the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons. Through 2010 the opening said, “Ahmad Abu Laban was a persona non grata in the United Arab Emirates and Egypt because of his Islamist views.” Today the word Islamist appears nowhere in the article. A reader today learns Abu Laban organized the cartoons response and does not learn he was barred as persona non grata from the UAE and Egypt over his Islamist views.
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.
