Revolution Muslim: what Wikipedia removed
Revolution Muslim was a New York City organization, founded in 2007, that advocated a traditionalist Islamic state and endorsed al Qaeda’s actions. Through 2015 the opening called it a radical Islamist organization and movement, and said it had come under scrutiny for its anti-Western rhetoric and for endorsing the actions of al Qaeda and other terrorist groups. Today’s opening describes it only as an organization that “advocated the establishment of a traditionalist Islamic state,” with that description gone, though terror survives 19 times elsewhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that Wikipedia once flatly called Revolution Muslim a radical Islamist organization tied to endorsing terrorist groups.
The word “terror” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2010. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 19. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
