EXPOSED: Western Lie that Syria is Ruled just by “Alawi minority”
Summary: President Assad is Alawi (modified offshoot of Shia) but not only is Assad’s wife Sunni, so is his (female) Vice President, Dr. Najaah Al-‘Attaar who is “only one heart-beat away from the presidency. She (Assad’s Vice President) is a woman and a SUNNI Muslim” but the government roster is dominated by many more Sunnis, see Ziad Fadel’s article below
SyriaPerspective PULLS THE VEIL OFF THE “ALAWIS only rule Syria” CANARD; SYRIA IS RULED BY SUNNIS..!

There are the Takfiri [note: this means jihadists like ISIS who claim all other types of Muslims must agree with the Takfiri's interpretation, or be killed by the Takfiri] liars and the Salafist [meaning Saudi style extremist Islamist] hypocrites who constantly point to the “Alawi” or “Nusayri” character of the Syrian government.
And there are some confused academics who have made a life theme, or even a cottage industry, out of what they erroneously believe to be the core issue in Syrian society: sectarianism. But, let us now uncover all their lies. Let us make their lying fester like an open wound unwilling to close so its fetid odor lingers in the walls of the sinuses like the smell of rotting sardines.
Let’s start out with facts so that people like Pat Buchanan never make the same mistake again; so that they will know the truth. Here is the Syrian government:
Dr. Bashar Al-Assad – of Alawi descent and is known to be secular
Asmaa` Al-Akras-Al-Assad, First Lady – SUNNI
Dr. Najaah Al-‘Attaar – Vice President – SUNNI
Waleed Al-Mu’allim – Foreign Minister – SUNNI
Dr. Faysal Miqdaad – Deputy Foreign Minister – SUNNI
Maj. Gen. Muhammad Ibraaheem Al-Sha’aar – Interior Minister and heads 3 security services – SUNNI
Lt. General Fahd Jaassim Al-Furayj – Defense Minister – SUNNI
Lt. General Talaal Tlaas – Deputy Defense Minister – SUNNI
Dr. Waa’il Naadir Al-Halaqi – Prime Minister – SUNNI
‘Abdullah Al-Ahmar – Deputy Secretary of the Ba’ath Party Pan Arab Command – SUNNI
Lt. General ‘Ali ‘Abdullah Ayyoob – Chief of the Syrian General Staff – ALAWI
Dr. Bashshaar Al-Ja’afari – Syrian Permanent Delegate to the U.N. – SUNNI
Muhammad Jihaad Al-Lahhaam – Speak of the Parliament – SUNNI
Maj. General Muhammad Mahalla – Director of Military Intelligence – SUNNI
Maj. General Nazeeh Hassoon – Director of Political Security – SUNNI
Lt. Gen. Ali Mamlook – Special National Security Adviser to the President – SUNNI
Dr. Buthayna Sha’baan – Special Advisor to the President on Foreign Affairs and the Palace spokeswoman – ALAWI
Dr. Najaah Al-‘Attaar is only one heart-beat away from the presidency. She is a woman and a SUNNI Muslim.
Well, folks: how do you like the lies?
[Independent confirmation: See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Najah_al-Attar
see referneces 2,3, and 4 -ED]
..Alawis have an in-built liberalism and tolerance. They just don’t care about your religion unless you’re going to use it to hurt them. Other than that, Alawis intermarry (contrast the Druze) regularly. Note Dr. Assad’s wife, Asmaa`, is a Sunni originally from Homs. Dr. Assad’s brother, Maj. Gen. Maaher Al-Assad, is married also to a SUNNI.
..Of course, Alawis are known not to have this insatiable appetite to waste their money on mosques. Unlike the Saudis, who are constantly building these mosques to some Wahhabist Satan in order to propitiate him, the Alawis prefer to pray at home or anywhere on this earth where prayer is valid.
Their religion is natural – not forced or insistent on conformism. This does not mean they don’t have mosques. It’s just that they have another agenda with God that doesn’t involve hypocrisy or the meaningless display of wealth [like the Wahabi extremist brutal Saudi dictators who are unfortunately and shamefully backed by our Western leaders -ED]
I will have more to say on this subject in a forthcoming essay. I just hope my readers will respond to the lies about the Alawi character of the Syrian government with more knowledge and confidence now.
