Rabaa el-Adawiyya Islam and its roots

Dr. Pipes

I want to bring to your attention and to the attention of readers that Muslims have no clue about the origin of the Rabaa sign. Even if I pose the question who was really this Rabaa el-Adawiyya ربعة العدوية (this is the name of the infamous mosque in Cairo that became the focal point of protests following the June 30 uprising against Morsi) I will never get an answer

http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%A8%D8%B9%D8%A9_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%AF%D9%88%D9%8A%D8%A9

In other words you get a story but not real history

The origin of the word رابعة or Rabaa (number four) must be from the word اربعة or four or Arba3a

Now in the Gnostic gospels (eg: Gospel of Judas extant in Coptic) we find the answer in the word Barbelo and the origin of this word is not clear but it really means when read in its Hebrew form

1. B means In

2. Arba is from Hebrew אַרְבַּע (arbá) and in Syriac which would have been how this word got into Arabic ܐܪܒܥ or Arba

3. El means God

So this term really means God in Four (YHWH)

It is very clear that Muslims are using a Jewish symbol that got into the emeging Islam but the meaning of the term Rabaa was lost

What a disaster
