Assad is not the demon portrayed by Western media,but he isn’t a saint either,life before the war under his regime was far from idyllic.
The Alawi regime in Syria is a classic case of a minority ruling over a hostile majority,it’s a recipe for disaster.
The only way for Syria to leave behind sectarianism is the entrenchment of a strong Syrian national identity within the framework of equal citizenship, pluralistic democracy and the protection of minority rights.
This is easier said than done of course.

It doesn’t change the fact that Assad remains extremely unpopular among the Arab Sunni masses.
Religion is an important factor,but of course social and economic reasons shouldn’t be overlooked,for example many Syrian Sunnis from the middle class support Assad,while marginalized Sunni regions became hotbeds of the revolution.
The country is in need of a new governance model,going back to the corrupt regime of the pre-2011 era will inevitably lead to another war.
Assad is good for the time being,but I don’t see how his rule can be beneficial for Syria in the long run.

Assad gotta do what Atatürk did, put government im control of the mosques forming a goverment controlled islamic "ministry" finance mosques, qouran schools and imams.
This way you can control what they teach and the clerics wont speak against the force they recieve their paychecks from.
This could lead to a more Arab/Syrian identiry instead of a religious one. They been there before and can go back.
The will of uprising amoung the Sunnis must be crumbled anyway after this conflict.
