sectarianism in Syria

I wrote in Al-Akhbar last Saturday about the Ba`thist tactics of elements in the Syrian opposition (namely, the Muslim Brothers and their liberal allies).  I wrote how some in that opposition resort to accusations of betrayal and even collision with the regime at anyone who is critical of them or who points out sectarian tendencies in Syria.  So I ask: will Anthony Shadid be now accused of collusion with the regime because he wrote about sectarian tendencies?   Even Syrian liberal opposition figure, Yasin Hajj Salih, recognizes the dangers of sectarianism, while (rightly) holding the regime responsible.
