This is a good article, but the author didn't go ahead and show what the alawites have done to Syria, palestine and Lebanon... and now to Iraq. They destroyed the syrian army, economy, political structure and every social and relegious norm or principle, they surrendered Golan heights, created the civil war and occupied lebanon and still murdering its leaders, finished the palestenians in lebanon, now they are exporting terrorism into Iraq & Lebanon. The problem is what the author correctly said, alawites follow Taqia where they say something and do something else...
