BEIRUT (AP) — The Syrian government appeared to have fallen early Sunday in a stunning end to the 50-year rule of the Assad family after a lightning rebel offensive.

The head of a Syrian opposition war monitor said President Bashar Assad had left the country for an undisclosed location, fleeing ahead of insurgents who said they had entered Damascus after a remarkably swift advance across the country.

Syrian Prime Minister Mohammed Ghazi Jalali said the government was ready to “extend its hand” to the opposition and hand over its functions to a transitional government.

    Sunni is just a branch, there are two main branches Sunni and shia, neither are particularly more radical than the other. Kind of like Catholic and protestant christians

        FYI I am Muslim

        1. Sunni and shia together make up ~99% of all Muslims

        2. No branch of Islam is inherently more extreme than the other, it varies from person to person or group to group.

        3. Alawites are (arguably) not muslim
