I was being ironic, of course.
Actually all this is rather fascinating.
Throughout history, Islam has been prolific
in its production of subcults and subsects.
I am certain Bin Laden's group is involved
in a lot of numerology, cosmology, etc.,
and I suspect Atta, also,
regarded himself as a kind of death cult leader.

Louis Farrakhan is fascinated by the number 19
for reasons I never have understood.

And also these groups like the Nation of Islam and the Five Percenters, who I don't think are even regarded as Islamic sects, but more like offshoots of Islam. (The Five Percenters have a whole page on why they are not Muslims.)

I'd forgotten about the 19 thing of Farrakhan's. The Five Percenters like the numbers 5 and 7, I think.
