As to their religion it is involved in mystery. They believe in one Supreme Being, who appeared last incarnate in the person of Hakem, Caliph of Egypt, about a. D. 1030. This pre- tender to divinity was supported by a prophet who came from Persia into Egypt. Both the caliph and his abettor perished by violence ; but their doctrines sur- vived them, and their persecuted followers took refuge in Lebanon. The Druses tolerate differences of opinion among themselves in reference to religion, and the...re- fore, at various times, have united in a body to oppose Crusaders, the Sultans of Aleppo, the Mamelukes, and the Ottomans. After the Ottoman conquest of Syria, the Druses often descended from the mountains to harass the conquerors. But after the middle of the sixteenth century they became subject to the Porte, and were, by payment of a yearly tribute, permitted to maintain an almost undisturbed independence. In TURICEY IX ASIA. 1 83 general, they are fierce, restless, and enterprising — their bravery even approaching to rashness.
