poor `Alawites

The Syrian regime's propaganda outlets are featuring many Christian and Druze representative (clerical and lay people alike).  Yet, you never ever see anyone representing `Alawites as the regime engages in minority mobilization.  Not once do you hear the word `Alawite uttered in those media.  Of course, we know why.  So the Syrian regime never mentions the word `Alawite, while Ikhwan-affiliated media refer to `Alawites and Shabbihah interchangeably.
