The International Institute of Islamic Thought is a Virginia-based Islamic organization. The 2015 opening stated that the FBI has raided the Institute seeking evidence of contributing terrorists, and that members have been arrested and found to be leaders of terrorist organizations. Today's opening describes only the Institute's stated mission to revive and reform Islamic thought, and terror survives 7 times elsewhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that the FBI raided the Institute while investigating members later found to be leaders of terrorist organizations.
