520 |a When the Syrian uprising broke out in February 2011, protesters voiced a broad range of grievances. Prominent among these were complaints about pervasive corruption and the regime's failure to respect the rights of citizens. Even after the uprising took a turn toward violent contention, religious rhetoric and symbolism played only an instrumental role in mobilizing popular discontent. As the uprising persisted, however, anti-regime activism started to exhibit a distinctly sectarian character, and by the autumn of 2012 the revolt had become predominantly Islamist. Why this crucial transformation took place merits re-examination. Four factors provide a more compelling explanation for the eclipse of the non-sectarian opposition: the replacement of the principles of Ba'thi socialism by Islamic notions of social justice; rivalry between the extensive network of Islamic charitable associations and radical Islamists; alliance dynamics among anti-regime forces; and the peculiar circumstances in which peaceful protest transformed into armed struggle in Syria's north-central provinces.
