Revolutionary Islam: what Wikipedia removed
Revolutionary Islam is a book written by Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, known as Carlos the Jackal, under the direction of Jean-Michel Vernochet. In the 2010 opening, Wikipedia described it as a book authored by international terrorist Ilich Ramirez Sanchez. Today’s opening calls him a book written by international revolutionary Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, with terror surviving only once elsewhere in the article. A reader today learns that Carlos the Jackal is called a revolutionary, and not that Wikipedia once called him an international terrorist.
The word “terror” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2010. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 1. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
