This Mubarak propagandist, `Imad Ad-Din Adib, now writes for the mouthpiece of Prince Salman and his sons, Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat. He believes that there 5% only of the population of Syria are `Alawites. The Economist used to maintain that it was 6% all last year but later changed the figure (after I mocked it here). Bigots always either inflate the number of the hated group, or they deflate it.
