Today the opening reads only "a wide range of Muslim attitudes towards terrorism," without the word Islamist, which survives 5 times in the body. A reader today does not learn that the terrorism under discussion was specifically described as Islamist.

The opening as it read in 2010
Muslim community is a diverse mosaic of peoples, various attitudes exist towards Islamist terrorism , ranging from outrage and vocal opposition to support. Some have viewed a connection between Islam and terrorism, because of some high profile terrorist groups like al Qaeda that profess religious reasons for their attacks. There are other terrorist groups, however, that profess no Islamic ideology.1
