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

//serious factual discrepancies//

This article has some serious defects. For one thing, the Sanusi movement is entirely opposed to Wahhabism and Salafism. Muhammad ibn Ali al-Sansui absolutely did not call for the abandonment of the four schools or taqlid: he was a scholar of the Maliki School and a strict adherent to it. Among his teachers were al-Arabi al-Darqawi and Ahmad Tijani; both founders of their own Sufi orders. (Taken from the Reliance of the Traveler, p.1075,- Nuh Keller cites the book al-A'lam by Khayr al-Din al-Zirikly - 8 volumes, Beirut: dar al-ilm li al Milayin, 1984, and "Muslim Brotherhoods in Northern Africa" (101-14) by Bradford G.

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)

1/3 of the Libyans Senussi's????

This is absolutely not true. Hakeem.gadi 13:14, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Plagiarized

Hi,

The entire history section is directly copied from a book that is NOT cited. This is plagiarized and the author of the article should give the original author credit for their work. The book where the information is from is almost entirely from Steven Biani's book "Libya: Current Issues and Historical Background."

Please use others' words with care and consideration. It is their living and their hard work -- they should be cited for it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.36.48.236 (talk) 21:09, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Bad merge

While the merge was certainly needed (even if it wasn't properly done), it should have gone under Sanusiya Order, and not the opposite, in order to reflect the nature of brotherhood; i.e., of religious organization. For this, if I don't here any reasons against, I will merge it in the other direction, and provide to effectively merge the two articles.--Aldux (talk) 19:02, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Khadirites.

In this article Khadirites leads to Kharijites. Is it true that Khadirites are Kharijites???
