Lol this is hilarious. "I'd
totally rebuke everything you wrote, but it's just so
wrong I don't even need to waste my time!" This is literally something a sitcom teenager would say lmao.
the very fact you said "While I have no idea whether Assad is particularly devout, he identifies as an Alawite Muslim, and I see no reason to disbelieve him." Takes any value in discussion it with you and makes it null
Going "I disagree with you, so that makes you wrong" is not argument.
this shows a very serious lack of knowledge in Islam,
No, it just shows that your definition of Islam isn't the only legitimate one.
its history and background as there is no such thing as an "Alawite Muslim" its an oxymoron to even say that because Alawites themselves do not even consider themselves Muslims
Literally a five-second Google search: "The Alawis, also rendered as Alawites (Arabic: علوية Alawīyah),
are a sect of the Ghulat branch of Shia Islam, primarily centred in Syria. The eponymously-named Alawites
revere Ali (Ali ibn Abi Talib), considered the
first Imam of the Twelver school." (emphasis mine)
and they have been unanimously declared as non-Muslims
I didn't realize there was a Global Muslim Council where
all Muslims come together and vote on who is or isn't a Muslim.
there is nothing Islamic about the Alawite sect they literally celebrate Christmas, Easter and Palm Sunday.
"Since they don't practice Islam exactly like I think they should, they're not Real Muslims." How do you not see how bigoted and close-minded this is?
