I was listening to the radio today ('Beyond Belief' on BBC R4) and there was a programme about President Assad, where he was described as an Alawite.
In the programme the Alawites were described as combining Islam with other beliefs, for example that Ali was a manifestation of Allah.
Are the Alawites Muslim or a separate religion?
Could you suggest where I might find more information?
