The opening as it read in 2005
The Saviour Sect ( Allah : "My nation will be divided into 73 sects, all of them will be in the Fire except for one (the Saviour Sect)...") is an ultra-extremist Islamist group operating in the United Kingdom , which is widely believed to be the reformed Al-Muhajiroun after it disbanded in 2004 by order of Omar Bakri Muhammad .1 It is believed that Omar Bakri today still heads this organisation. In 2005 their website was hacked but now their site has been fully restored again after being shut down for apparently inciting hatred, despite the fact that their previous hosts could not bring any proof whatsoever for their claims.2
