Questions about Alawi/Nusayris sect


I am absolutely unclear how to even form thoughts about Alawi/Nusayris. I hope to get more information about them soon.


I have posted the following questions, in hope that someone may know more about this sect or at least point me to some reading materials.

1. When did this sect come into existence? How?
2. Do they worship Imam Ali (peace be upon him) as a God?
3. Is this the group that thought the angel Jibrael made a mistake and sent the revelation to a wrong person, when it should have gone to Imam Ali?
4. Do they acknowledge all the 12 Imams of ahlul bayt (peace be upon them)?
5. Do we have any sayings from our Imams that speak about them?
6. Names of some books/literature that can explain this sect.
