reference to the `Alawite sect in US newspapers

"Jabal Mohsen, mostly has residents of Assad’s Alawite sect".  OK. I am sick and tired of seeing every reference to Alawite religion being linked to Bashshar Al-Asad personally, as if he founded that religion.  And if you want to insist on this association, why not follow every reference to Sunni Islam by this label: the religion of Usamah bin Laden.
