Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan: what Wikipedia removed

Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan is the president of the United Arab Emirates. The October 6, 2023 opening said, “MBZ is known to oppose Islamism, the Muslim Brotherhood, Iran and Iranian-backed groups.” Today the opening covers only his biography and presidency, with Islamist surviving once elsewhere in the article. A reader today does not learn from the opening that he is characterized as an opponent of Islamism and the Muslim Brotherhood.

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.
