Who Are the Alawites – And Why Are They Being Massacred Right now?

Christian Syrians

I'm an Alawite from Latakia city, everything you said is true, but people should know that even when Hafez and Bashar ruled over Syria Alawites stay very poor and uneducated so that they eventually are forced to join the army.

Only 5-6 families in Syria had all the power in the country, Like , Al-Assad and Makhloof families, also all the money was in the hands of Sunna traders who did run the economic show in the country.. We're getting slaughtered here mainly because of our religious beliefs, at least 15k died so far, including my cousin, the world doesn't care about us because house Al-Assad gave a very ugly picture about Alawites to the world and you're seeing the outcome now.. I'm also an Alawit from Antakya a Sisters City of Latakia. I agree full with your comment. We have been targeting since Kerbela not because we kill humans but because we love humans and stay for humanity. For example, during the war in Syria Alawits opend their doors for other Syrians who want to escape from war and who are Sunnits, Christians and other peoples from other minoritys.

It is a big shame from the world that Alawits are killed in front of the word without doing any thing against. Long live Alawits, long live humanity!
