Syria, Part II

Earlier this morning I took some time to post about Syria.  Two things should be noted,

1) No, the Alawi population was not called by the name Alawi during Alexander's incursion into the region (obviously Islam had not made it onto the world stage before Alexander's trip through the area).  The population that is known as Alawi today did, however, exist as a population group at that time.

2) I hate being correct.   Read more about it here
