Reader comment on item: The Alawi Capture of Power in Syria
in response to reader comment: Alawites and proud to be!
Submitted by Amine (Saudi Arabia), Aug 5, 2012 at 03:21
There is nothing special you have to be proud of. As human, we are born to seek The Truth and not to be confined in our cultural and religious background. The Truth is One and God is not the author of confusion.
Have a nice day
