Sirijski druzi

Druzi u Siriji su značajna manjinska religijska zajednica u Siriji.

Prema The World Factbook, Druzi čine oko 3,2 procenta stanovništva (od 2010. godine),[1][2] ili približno 700.000 pripadnika, uključujući stanovnike Golanske visoravni.[3] Druzi su koncentrisani u ruralnim, planinskim oblastima istočno i južno od Damaska, u oblasti koja je zvanično poznata kao Džabal al-Druze.[4]

Druzi su monoteistička i avramska religija.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Sirija ima najveću populaciju Druzita na svetu,[12] a mnogi sirijski Druzi takođe žive u inostranstvu, posebno u Venecueli, gde žive poslednjih sto godina.[13]

Druzi su abrahamska monoteistička religija koja je gnostički izdanak i neoplatonistička sekta ismailizma, ogranka šiitskog islama. Druzi su evoluirali iz religije islama i sada su nezavisna religija, odvojena od islama.[14]

Prema jednoj proceni koju je napravila Elisabet Granli sa Univerziteta u Oslu, oko 1.920 sirijskih Druza je prešlo u hrišćanstvo,[15] prema istoj studiji Hrišćani druzijskog porekla i dalje sebe smatraju Druzima,[15] i tvrde da nema protivrečnosti između toga da si Druz i da budeš hrišćanin.[15]
