The Allawites started out with more guns, but there is an advantage of having more people like the Sunnis because when someone dies, someone else can just pick up the gun and continue the fight.

The Allawites will run out of people before Sunnis run out of guns.

“The Allawites will run out of people before Sunnis run out of guns”

That is the way that it has been going. If Iran had not jumped in and brought HizbAllah with them, the Allawites would be further down that road by now.

The Allawite community will suffer under ISIS rule - at a minimum economic oppression, at the worst, genocide.

The “Arab Spring” and the war in Syria is already the largest refugee event since WWII. If the jihadis take over, a lot of Alawites will have to flee, taking a big chunk of Syria’s technical and managerial elite with them.
