This Libyan political party is associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, whose parent organization multiple governments have designated a terrorist group. Through 2015 the opening said the party is associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, "which is considered a terrorist organization by the governments of Bahrain" and others, and that "the party advocates Islamism." Today the opening says only that the party is "associated with the Muslim Brotherhood," with the terrorist designation and the party's own stated Islamist ideology both gone; terror appears 0 times in the opening today and survives 6 times in the body. A reader today learns the party is associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, and not that multiple governments designate the Brotherhood a terrorist organization, or that the party itself advocates Islamism.
