Al-Muhajiroun

Al-Muhajiroun (literally "The Emigrants") was a British-based Islamist organisation, membership in which has been 
==History==
The group was founded on March 3, 1983 by Omar Bakri Mohammed following his exclusion from the Islamist party Hizb ut-Tahrir. Despite becoming active predominantly in Britain, al-Muhajiroun was actually established in Mecca and launched in Jeddah. Mohammed was later expelled from Saudi Arabia after protesting its government (on the grounds that the regime was "man-made") and came to Britain in 1986.http://web.archive.org/web/20081024202445/http://www.jamestown.org/terrorism/news/article.php?search=1&articleid=23622
==The spread of their asshattery==
*Al-Ghurabaa, believed to be an offshoot of al-Muhajiroun, was banned in 2006 under new legislation outlawing the glorification of terrorism.http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2006/jul/17/uksecurity.terrorism
*The Saved Sect, another believed al-Muhajiroun offshoot, was banned at the same time as al-Ghurabaa.<capture> Parts of its website can still be read on Archive.org, including an, erm, enlightening hypothetical conversation between a secularist and a Muwahhid.http://web.archive.org/web/20060704221414/http://www.thesavedsect.com/articles/Dawah/DebateSecularistMuwahhid.htm</capture>
*Two more of the groups that the government decided were al-Muhajiroun under different names. Beyond that... eh, who cares?
*Islam4UK was a web-based organisation describing itself as "a platform" for al-Muhajiroun,http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/defence/6931212/What-is-Islam4UK.html What is Islam4UK? The Telegraph. founded by Bakri Mohammed and at one point led by Anjem Choudary.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/the_daily_politics/8459410.stm
==Their bullshit is banned by the UK Government==
As mentioned above, the British government banned Al-Ghurabaa and the Saved Sect in 2006. In 2010 it decided that al-Muhajiroun, Islam4UK, Call to Submission, Islamic Path and London School of Sharia should be treated as the same organisation that had operated under those two names and similarly banned.http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/publications/counter-terrorism/proscribed-terror-groups/proscribed-groups?view=Binaryhttp://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/jan/12/islam4uk-banned-alan-johnson-islamist Islam4UK To Be Banned, Says Alan Johnson Alan Travis. The Guardian. January 12, 2010. 
Following the ban another group, Muslims Against Crusades, sprang up only to be similarly banned.
==Their connections to terrorism==
Four men who planned to detonate a bomb at the London Stock Exchange in 2010 were reportedly connected to Al-Muhajiroun; one, Mohammed Chowdhury, had previously been photographed holding an Islam4UK placard.http://blog.thecst.org.uk/?p=3397 Another of the men, , went on to carry out a successful attack in which two people were killed: he was a personal associate of the group's leader Anjem Choudary.Anjem Choudary facing life in jail after being found guilty of directing terrorism One of the killers responsible for the 2013 Woolwich attack also had a background in the group,http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22636624 as did London Bridge attacker Khuram Butt.London attacker Khuram Butt showed his extremist colours Omar Sharif, who was found dead after his suicide vest failed to explode, reportedly attended its meetings.Body identified as 'suicide bomber' Zacarias Moussaoui, currently serving life without parole for involvement in the 9/11 attacks, also has links to Al-Muhajiroun, as does "shoe bomber" Richard Reid.It's time for MI5 to abandon the disastrous 'clerical honeypot' strategy One member was jailed for attending a terrorist camp.Muslim convert Richard Dart admits terror charges
Considering the group's leader is a convicted ISIS sympathizer,Radical preacher Anjem Choudary jailed for five years none of the above should come as a surprise.
