The opening as it read in 2005

Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan was previously known as Anjuman Sipah-e-Sahaba (ASS); this dubious acronym made them change their name. Sipah Sahaba represent a long history of savage extremism in Sunni Islam . Sipah-e-Sahaba in their preachings and actions are remarkably like Khariji , a violent movement in early Islam , funded by the despotic dynasty of Umayyads and their founder Muawiyah . Sipah-e-Sahaba are funded heavily through the debauche seikhdoms of Arabs and are armed to assassinate kafirs of all sects. Many beheadings and other gruesome acts of violence have earned this terrorist group extreme notoriety. Sipah-e-Sahaba are widely believed to be a formal part of Al-Qaeda 's global network.1
