The Murabitun World Movement is an Islamic movement founded by Abdalqadir as-Sufi, born Ian Dallas. In 2005 the opening said the movement "is highly controversial, as is Ian Dallas, who has been labeled as anti-Semitic." Today the word does not appear anywhere in the article, and the opening describes the movement only as promoting Islam and uniting Muslims "against perceived threats in contemporary global civilization." A reader today does not learn that the movement's founder was labeled antisemitic.
