AHC: Survival of the Almoravid Empire

The Almoravid Empire was a powerful state during the Middle Ages, credited, among other things, for saving Southern Spain from the Catholic Kingdoms to the north, as well as destroying the almighty Ghana Empire. However, the Almoravids fell not to invading Christians, but to revolts by the (presumably) intolerant Almohads.

Your challenge, with a PoD no earlier than 1080, find a way to prolong the Almoravids existence at least to 1270. Bonus points for getting it to the modern day (20th-21st century)
 
Really from what I've read the Almoravids wheren't really that tolerant either. And much like the Almohads they where essentially ruling two very different nations between their Maghrebi lands and their Andalucian lands. Maybe the best way to keep them around would be to split the empire between the Andalucian half and the Maghrebi half.

Though chances are that the Andalusi half, if seperated, probably wouldn't last long before it is conquered by the Reconquista states, and probably wouldn't help if they decide to turn to Morocco and the Marghreb next.
