Alawi

I concur. I am also a Alawi woman living in Australia..There are many of us here. I am independent, I have travelled the world, I have amazing parents. My father answers any questions I have on islam. I believe we are a young religion still growing and learning. We are modern and respect all religions. I just hope the young out there are not turned off by the Media branding us as Terrorist and diabolical. If young Alawi men do falter, I blame the Media and ignorance of other people.
