Shame on this sectarian and bigoted New York Times article which demonizes all `Alawites in Syria.  All of them.  If this article was against all Jews, there would be protests outside of Times offices, as there should be.  None of the Syrian `Alawites I know support the regime, although I reckon that my sample is rather small.
