Talk:Senussi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As far as I known, the Senussi were influeced by Wahabbi Islam of Saudi Arabia, an rigorously Orthodox brand of Sunni Islam. Wahabbism does not approve of Sufism, so I am surprised that the Senussi are Sufi. Danny 11:20, 16 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Dan, Zawiya Senussia is a soufi order.I read a book about Sufisme and it's principles.it had an entire chapter discusssing various sufi orders and Senussi is one of the sufi orders thank you Sanaa

The Sanusiya was a combination of Sufi organization and a free-ranging though basically orthodox Sunnism

[edit] Modern-day?

The article states that 1/3 of Libyans are still associated with Senussis but gives no information of what happened to them after the deposition of the king, or in fact their reaction to their leader becoming emir of the area. Jztinfinity 20:35, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
