The Druze/Christian massacre is FAR WORSE
Islamists killed more than 1,300 people, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Most of the victims were civilians from the Alawite community, the minority Shia sect to which former president Bashar al-Assad belongs. Clashes between government forces and an armed remnant of Assad’s regime in the provinces of Latakia and Tartus last week led to sectarian violence as Sunni militia descended on the region. Alawites, who held prominent positions under Assad’s rule, have a history of living side by side with Christians.
