You have an aggressive manner about it, which is not justified. Anyway, if you really want to learn about Alevis or Shias, or anything else, I am afraid that you need to change your aggressive attitude.
Anyway, Alevis are not part of Shias. They are a separate branch. Khomeini, was the first Faqih in Shia history who categorized them as shia and it was solely due to his relations with Al-assad family in Syria, and not because of religious reasons. Conservative Marja's do not consider them as shia. only mullahs of Islamic Republic say so, to rationalize their strong relations with Syrian regime.
Say what ? Al-Assad family isn't Alevi...they are Alawites !
