Rumors have it Assad is a closet Christian.
“umors have it Assad is a closet Christian.”
Baloney. Assad is Alawite, a sect of Shia.
The Christian minority in Syria has always been close to the Alawite and Assad out of mutual protection and alliance, not theology. Assad trusts the Christians because he knows they have no power base and need his protection. Similarly, Assad is a megalomaniac, but not a religious whack job, and the Syrian Christians give him support.
“Rumors have it Assad is a closet Christian.”
No. He’s an Alawite. He doesn’t believe there is any reason to be a Christian since he already believes he has all the good things Christianity has to offer as an Alawite. Muslims are more likely to become Christians than Alawites are.
That explains why Obama hates him..Catholic
