Adonis: a wanted man



There is a campaign by religious-sectarian fanatics of the Syrian opposition (still described in the West as "secular"--ha ha ha) to seek revenge and exact punishment against Arab poet, Adonis.  Now I am no fan of Adonis but this campaign against him (accusing him of being `Alawite--a crime in Syrian exile opposition circles and of "offending" Islamic religion) has not gotten any notice in the West because the culprits are part of the "pro-Western" coalition in Syrian opposition.
