Interesting. It has been reported that Assad was Alawite Muslim in other publications. An interesting note-his father changed the Syrian constitution so that a non-muslim could be president in 1973. This caused a lot of protests.
Regarding his medical career, he graduated from medical school and went directly into the military, so far, I haven’t seen anything that notes what his degree or practice in the military was-so if that was the dentistry, I didn’t see it.
He was in London for post graduate work specializing in Opthamology. I’m trying to remember where I saw a reference to dentist in past research, but I can’t.
To sum up he might be Christian or Alawite.
He was an eye doctor but his other medical experience wasn’t quite clear.
Thanks!
What did you think of the “FULL CIRCLE” phrase interpretation?
