'''Syrian Alawites''' (Arabic: {{ia|عَلَویون}}) or '''Nuṣayrīyya''' (Arabic: {{ia|نُصَیریّه}}) or '''Anṣārīyya''' (Arabic: {{ia|أنصاریة}}) is a [[Shiite]] sect in [[Syria]]. In some historical sources and books of sects and creeds, they are referred to as [[Ghalis]] (people who exaggerate about the [[Imams]]). The sect was formed in the 3rd/[[9th century]]. The Nusayriyya originally resided in the north of Syria. In different historical periods, the Syrian Alawites were constantly oppressed by the [[Sunni]] governments in Syria, because they were Shi'as as well as Ghalis. In addition to Syria, the Nusayriyya also live in southern [[Turkey]], northern [[Lebanon]], and in [[Palestine]]. They took over the power in the 14th/[[20th century|20th]] and 15th/[[21st century|21st]] centuries after centuries of oppression and miseries. Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, is a member of the Alawites. | '''Syrian Alawites''' (Arabic: {{ia|عَلَویون}}) or '''Nuṣayrīyya''' (Arabic: {{ia|نُصَیریّه}}) or '''Anṣārīyya''' (Arabic: {{ia|أنصاریة}}) is a [[Shiite]] sect in [[Syria]].
