Will Syrian Druze remain Neutral

Another often overlooked minority are the Druze. This may be due to the fact that they have remained neutral through the course of teh syrain civil war. Syria’s Druze between the hammer of the regime and anvil of extremism shows how the Druze are beginning to feel the tensions from both sides. The Druze Dilemma on the other hand explores how the Druze may be leaving their neutral position to one of more action. They have now demanded weapons from Assad or threaten to seek help and supplies elsewhere. Though the weapons are simply for defense against extremists, could this be the beginning of a new Druze position in the war? With this, would their change in position be compromising their ideology and culture?
