from an Economist and a haaretz articleIn Assad's Syria, there is no religious coercion and minorities were not required to pay a jiziya tax because they weren't Sunni Muslims.
Homs, like all of the cities recaptured by the government, now belongs mostly to Syria’s victorious minorities: Christians, Shias and Alawites (an esoteric offshoot of Shia Islam from which Mr Assad hails). These groups banded together against the rebels, who are nearly all Sunni, and chased them out of the cities. Sunni civilians, once a large majority, followed. More than half of the country’s population of 22m has been displaced—6.5m inside Syria and over 6m abroad. Most are Sunnis.
The whole goal of unseating assad would have been to balkanize the region along ethnic/religious lines.
This outcome means Syria hasn't become a Sunni monolith and will continue to be a place where people can practice their religions in "peace"
