The best suspect words are the ones that suddenly started to be
systematically mispronounced by BBC news readers almost overnight.

I certainly noticed that, almost overnight, 'iz-LARM-ist' suddenly
became 'IZZ-luh-mist'.

Not really. 'Islamic' is still used, but simply refers to the practice
of Islam, and things pertaining to it. 'Islamist' refers more to
extremism and fundamentalism.
