how uneducated

As a Alawi, I am open to hearing the opinions of non-alawi and am not offended at all when they comment incorrectly on the Alawi beliefs. Quite simply, if you don't agree, we don't care!! Faith is for the individual and as a human being, your concern with beliefs should be limited to yourself. God created differences so we could learn to get along. The Alawi people have no interest in converting others to Alawi and openly accept people do have different beliefs. The energy you spend trying to convince Alawis they are wrong, would be much better used bettering yourself as a human and expanding your knowledge without judgement. However, after all is said and done, as a fellow Muslim, I'm sure you understand it is God who will judge you and not the Alawi people, so fear not from anyone but God. May God be with you.
