::The lead characterised it as an "extremist Islamic" organisation . The description was cited to three sources, two of which (, ) do not use the term "extremist" to describe the organisation. These sources are reporting on police investigations and to extrapolate such a conclusion from that is a violation of ] and constitutes ], the two sources are also not unambiguous RS. The third source is which does mention the term and attributes it to "authorities", otherwise leaving it somewhat vague.

The changes appear to have been an improvement of what was previously a POV ridden article that misrepresented sources.

:::It is surely not on us to characterize this organisation as extremist unless its proponent can adequately establish that such a characterization is in vogue in reliable scholarly sources (as against news sources) and ensure compliance with the relevant MOS guideline. So this is something to discount at the outset itself. However, to endorse the current characterisation also tantamounts to lending credence to the group's POV in Misplaced Pages's words and that won't wash either, particularly when it has not found such a disengenous label in reliable sources. At present, two references are cited in the article to undergird the label; and while I could not find anything concerning the subject whatsoever on the pages cited for it in the first source at first blush, the second source is just the group's Instagram handle and that's simply ridiculous to put it mildly. This now takes me to the diction proffered by ] above and I feel it's the most closest to embodying the wording used by reliable sources. ] (]) 11:12, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

:::So I tried looking for other secondary scholarly sources and from what I can see there's the following two which are more specific to topics related to the subject, i.e Kerala politics.

Unfortunately, Emmerich's coverage has been called into question by other scholars:
{{talkquote|In particular, we find recent works such as those of Arndt Emmerich problematic for its characterization of the PFI in coastal Karnataka as a model of right-centred citizenship politics of Muslims (Emmerich, 2019). Emmerich seems to have accepted the claims and arguments of the PFI officebearers without dispute and moreover, he does not venture into examining several allegations of violence and religious radicalism put forward by the state, secular organizations, and most importantly, other major Muslim political and religious organizations, against the PFI.<ref>{{citation |first1=R. |last1=Santhosh |first2=Dayal |last2=Paleri |title=Ethnicization of religion in practice?

I have also found his coverage pussy-footing around facts. For example, he says PFI is "closely connected" to other organisations like SDPI, CFI etc. making it appear as if they are independent organisations, whereas almost everybody else describes them as offshoots of PFI. -- ] (]) 19:03, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

:Thanks for bringing this up, I had missed this source. This does indicate that Emmerich (2019) should not be given as much weight and balanced with Santhosh, Pareli (2021) which also covers PFI in significant depth and is in line with the characterisation of the organisation as an Islamist group.
