Azad Ali
Azad Ali, a British activist and spokesman for the Islamic Forum of Europe, reported by the press to have links to extremists. The 2015 opening called him a British Islamist and a spokesman for the Islamic Forum of Europe. The opening today calls him a British Muslim activist, though Islamist survives four times elsewhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that Wikipedia's own opening once identified him specifically as an Islamist rather than a Muslim activist.
