""Approximately 10 million Alevi Muslims
live in Turkey. They differ from the Sunni majority in so far as they allow
alcohol and do not necessarily fast for Ramadan. They are keen to distance
themselves from Syria's Alawites - the minority to to which President Bashar
Assad belongs. Even so, the Alevis in Turkey are being targeted by Sunnis since
the troubles began in Syria."" (thanks Amir)
