*** The Alawites ruling Syria are 10% of the population, vs the 70% Sunni Arabs who have risen in revolt. ***

One of Syria’s strengths is it is Secular Syria. Asma Assad is a Sunni Muslim, married to an Alawite. The Uyghurs fighting in Syria “ain’t from around these parts” to steal some from old Westerns.

A secular Sunni Arab is a contradiction in terms. Sunni Arabs are secular in the sense of using Western technology. In that respect, Osama bin Laden was a secularist. In reality, only atheists with Sunni Arab parents are secular in *any* Western sense of the word. I’m gonna bet she is now an Alawite and her kids are being brought up Alawite, in stark opposition to Sunni Arab dogma.
