Fasad

Fasad is an Arabic Islamic legal term for moral corruption. The 2010 opening stated that Islamic thinkers have defined acts of terrorism by Muslims as fasad, and noted that critics of Islam say the term is used incorrectly to denounce terrorism. Today's opening is a bare dictionary definition with no mention of terrorism at all, and the word survives only once elsewhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that the term has been used by Islamic thinkers to characterize acts of terrorism.

The opening as it read in 2010

In some dialects and languages, the unrelated architectural term ' facade ' is spelled 'fasad'.1 Fasad ( Arabic : الفساد ) is corruption, unlawful warfare, or crimes against law and order in the Muslim community . Fasad is a general concept of social disorder that, within Islamic jurisprudence , is the source of and basis for ' Hirabah '-related laws. ' Hirabah ' refers to illegal acts done under the principle of fasad. In recent years, Islamic thinkers have defined acts of terrorism by Muslims as "fasad". However critics of Islam have said that the verse in the Quran relating to fasad, is incorrectly used to denounce terrorism.2
