Very interesting article yet very onesided. Alawis suffered from years of suppression and Humiliation by other muslims. We practice Islam like anyone else and we are closer to shiaa then to sunni. We are Peaceful and very tolerant to all religions, that what made us different from other islamic groups. We value the fact that we are able to live side by side with other religious group in peace without judging them because we believe in freedom of religion and right to choose, GOD is the one to judge on the day of judgment.

Today we continue to Practice Islam, We are muslim and we are proud of it.
