People are using this gesture and naming it Rabia (after the famous Sufi saint Rabia al-basri) to show solidarity with Morsi and Islamic Brotherhood. Little do they know that Morsi and Islamic Brotherhood are kutter anti-Sufis. 
Re: Rabia’, four fingers sign
So what are Morsi’s followers in the Brotherhood, are they Salafi’s?
Re: Rabia’, four fingers sign
had you spared one minute in finding something authentic you must not have come up with this bluntly false propaganda. founder of Brotherhood, Hassan al-Banna himself was sufi. and how many sufis are detested and killed by Brotherhood?
rabaa sign first was used by Erdogan as gesture of support for Morsi after killing of several protestors in Square(4) corner mosque by Egyptian army.
just because Hassan al-Banna was not identical to sufis you like doesn’t justify this propaganda.
Re: Rabia’, four fingers sign
Any authentic reference for what you’re claiming about hasan banana and erdogan?
the mosque is named after Rabia Basri. Check it up if you don’t believe. And no, hasan banana or Muslim brotherhood ain’t Sufis. Lol
Re: Rabia’, four fingers sign
Heavily salafi influenced…more like hizb e tehrir.
Maybe this will help
Re: Rabia’, four fingers sign
Lolx nothing to do with sufiz or antiz , its Rabia becuz jahan se protests started , us place square ka name rabiya in arabic hai , which means FOUR !
Re: Rabia’, four fingers sign
You cannot find/beleive something authentic unless you get rid of sectarian hatred
Re: Rabia’, four fingers sign
sorry if i sound too ignorant , whats this talk about sufi’s and salafi’s? whats the difference between the two?
Re: Rabia’, four fingers sign
Grandchildren of hasan banna…errr no.
Re: Rabia’, four fingers sign
No, this thread isn’t about that.
Its about people following and supporting agendas using symbols which actually mean the opposite of what they’re supporting.
Re: Rabia’, four fingers sign
Here…for your info.
The Rabaa Al-Adawiya Mosque[name 1] is one of the most famous mosques in Cairo, located on the northern edge of Nasr City district in eastern Cairo. It was named after the 8th-century Sufi saint Rabia Al-Adawiya.
In July 2013, after Mohamed Morsi was toppled in the June 30 Revolution, the mosque turned into sit-in camp for the supporters of President Morsi .[1]

Re: Rabia’, four fingers sign

Re: Rabia’, four fingers sign
Muslim mard hazraat
Re: Rabia’, four fingers sign
don’t ridicule it man, everyone is giving their own definition why not this?
Re: Rabia’, four fingers sign
Salafis are in short wahhabis (the sect being promoted by Saudis), and they are dead against sufism.
Re: Rabia’, four fingers sign
arent these sufis supporters dead against Brotherhood(supposedly salfis), by supporting Army and favoring ouster of Morsi (indirectly supporting killings of egyptians)?
why only one side of picture?
why pick and choose?
what kind of these salfis are not being supported by Saudis?
Re: Rabia’, four fingers sign
I am not sure about the relationship between them in Egypt, just pointing out the differences between them. Which side of the picture, and who is picking whom?
Re: Rabia’, four fingers sign
not everyone has its own definition, this is one you got from facebook
