What are you even talking about? Who are you trying to fool with these third-grade slogans?
Syria is a military dictatorship, whatever formal designation it would ever have. All the power circles in Syria are fully in control of Alawi ethnicity.
All the "Sunni" in these circles are only by name, and have sworn allegiance to Alawite clans that dominate the country.
The country has never been truly secular ever since Hafez came to power, and the situation only marginally improved under Bashar.I recommend a great book on Syria's power structure, but I doubt you will ever read it. Others, who read this, just might though.
