The English Wikipedia article's lead prose (not its infobox) states: 'Abdullatif Ahmad Mustafa (born 1969) is a Kurdish religious figure and a Salafi preacher in Iraqi Kurdistan.' The Amargi's long-form profile (July 2026) states: 'Ahmed's version of Islam is Salafism, a puritanical reformist creed calling for a return to Islam as practiced by al-salaf al-ṣāliḥ (the pious predecessors, Arabic).' Two different outlets, both prose, both about the man himself, so the value is sunni with the Salafi identification named here; there is no Salafi value in the schema and none is invented. The Wikipedia infobox field 'Sunni Islam (Salafism)' is structured data and is not counted toward the settlement (the al-Munajjid precedent: an infobox alone never settles faith), and The Amargi's own news report is the same outlet as its profile, so it is not counted as independent either. The identification is corroborated by further independent outlets: The New Region calls him 'one of the Kurdistan Region's most prominent Salafi figures', and +964's English reporting calls him 'one of the region's most visible Salafi clerics'.",

   "source": "Built in wave 199 (§C) on 9 November 2026 under the founder's explicit ruling of the same day ('Build Abdullatif + Amozhgary TV'): the wave-199 coordinator checks had held this person and his channel together for a founder decision because of the conduct file set out below, and the founder ruled to build with that file open — the Hersy-line call was his, and it is recorded here so the record never reads as if the file had not existed. Sources: the English Wikipedia article (revision of about 27 October 2026, re-read in full at build); The Amargi's long-form profile 'The rise and fall of Abdullatif Salafi' and its news report of the dismissal (both July 2026); and The New Region's report of 1 July 2026, built around the official dismissal document the outlet obtained. Biography per those sources: born 1969 in Iraqi Kurdistan; Arabic Department, Al-Mustansiriya University, graduated 1992 (Wikipedia); two doctorates in Islamic law (The Amargi; Wikipedia gives a master's and doctorate in Tikrit and a further doctorate in Saudi Arabia); studied under Muqbil al-Wadi'i (The Amargi); lecturer at the College of Islamic Sciences, University of Sulaimani, until July 2026; imam of the Behesht (Bahasht) Mosque, Sulaymaniyah; founder in 2013 of Amozhgari TV (group record in this batch; the founder link is written once, there, as founded_by, on the lane's Kishki and Holy Tune pattern — this lane writes no founder edge from the person side). CONDUCT FILE, as carried neutrally in the summaries: in June 2026 leaked audio recordings and text messages circulated on Kurdish social media allegedly capturing him sexually harassing female university students (Wikipedia; The Amargi; The New Region); a University of Sulaimani investigative committee and the KRG Ministry of Higher Education followed, and on 1 July 2026 the minister issued a decision permanently dismissing him from his academic post under the State and Public Sector Employees Discipline Law No. 14 of 1991, stripping pension rights and barring future public employment (The New Region, reporting the document it obtained; The Amargi, which states the dismissal is an administrative sanction and 'does not amount to a criminal conviction. No court ruling concerning the allegations has been announced'); he denies the allegations, claiming the recordings were fabricated using artificial intelligence, and said he would appeal, claiming the decision was reached 'under a lot of pressure' (The New Region). An earlier episode is reported only by The Amargi's profile, in its own words: of 2016, 'similar recordings leaked, he denied them as fabricated, then, weeks later, married the student and admitted the recording were real all along' — a single-source account from one outlet's profile, carried here as that outlet's report and not stated as established fact in the summaries (The Amargi's news report adds only that 2016 recordings of private conversations between him and a female student were made public). QUALIFICATION BASIS, stated honestly: no dated count for his personal pages could be pinned in this run — The Amargi profile says his Facebook and Instagram pages 'have half a million followers' without making clear whether the figure is per-platform or combined and without dating it to a day, so it is NOT printed as a reach entry and this record carries no reach block; his qualification rests on his role as founder and director of Amozhgari TV (the group's 1,800,000 Facebook followers are the group's figure and are never credited to him personally — entity separation) together with his Wikipedia-documented public role, under the founder's ruling above. FAITH: settled sunni, basis documented, on the two independent prose texts quoted verbatim in the faith note (the English Wikipedia lead prose and The Amargi profile); the Wikipedia infobox field was not counted, and The Amargi news report was not counted as independent of its own outlet. SCREEN: the coordinator's adjacency screen for him is documented in the wave-199 coordinator checks file — no verified link, endorsement or financial tie to any designated organisation was found in either direction; The Amargi profile's generic sentence about Salafism as a doctrine of armed groups is not reproduced or paraphrased anywhere in this record, as the lane's firewall rule requires, and the same profile describes his own strand as quietist and opposed to armed rebellion. Identity hygiene: he is NOT Abdul Latif Rashid, the president of Iraq — a different man who shares his first two names; the two are kept separate by biography throughout. De-duplicated against the tree: no abdullatif-ahmad-mustafa record existed.",
