Actually, as was pointed out by a Syrian friend of mine, Assad is an Alawite which is ostensibly a flavor of Shi’a Islam but it bears more resemblance to a Christianity evolved from being driven underground in the 8th/9th century.

more resemblance to a Christianity While rejecting sharia is an important diversion from Islam, the is no 'Christ' in the Alawites so they have no similarity to Christianity.

And if I've read the articles about Alawite..they are somewhat secret about their beliefs and talking about them? Perhaps they aren't a majority.? YOU probably know 100% more than me on the subject. I was scan reading.
