The Sadrist Movement is an Iraqi political movement led by Muqtada al-Sadr that won 73 seats in the October 2021 Iraqi parliamentary election. Through 2010 the opening called it "an Iraqi Islamist national movement led by Muqtada al-Sadr." Today the opening calls it "an Iraqi Shia Islamic national movement," and the word Islamist survives twice in the body. A reader today does not learn that Wikipedia's own opening once classified the movement as Islamist rather than simply Islamic.
