Almoravids were not a sect, describing them as such is a POV
There is no need to describe them, i.e. by saying North African, Muslim and Arabic pronunciation. It's already linked and the subject is probably common knowledge to someone who'd land on this page.
Even if we tolerate the use of "invasion" (a loaded word which shud be avoided in encyclopaedic writing), it wasn't one. Almoravids were, at first, allies of Ibn Abbad, and went with an offensive against Chrisitians who were attacking some weak Taifas. So it is more of an ongoing military conflict, where lands are swapping hands and does not amount to a an invasion.
If you think that "invasion" is an absolute necessity, I'm not that bothered, on top of what I just said, it's just not very descriptive of what was going on.
