===Beirut and Lebanon===
===Beirut and Lebanon===
Beirut is a French colonial port city the [[French Empire]] had carved out for itself for off-loading and sale to the [[Arab]] world of French manufactured goods. Because French exporters and traders, and the French government, could never come to terms with locals who wanted to use Shariah law to settle commercial disputes (Shariah law has no areas governing [[corporation]]s), France carved out for itself the province of [[Lebanon]] staffed by a local, [[secular]] Arab civil service.

Lebanon is a [[multicultural]] [[province]] of Syria, with recognition as a "[[sovereign]]" state in the [[United Nations]].
France never had control of [[Syria]], Lebanon, or Beirut in the anti-colonial Marxists' and communists present in American universities and textbooks. France was allows dependent on secular locals who willing volunteered to cooperate with France, and occupied all the positions of the Westetn-style [[civil service]]. These native Arab collaborators viewed the teachers and enforcers of Shariah law as their oppressors.
Indeed, the modern [[nation state]] of Syria was created in a non-competition clause between the British and French Empires. It would exist as a bureaucracy or so entity otherwise, and was always staffed by secular locals who respecter the rights if foreigners and non-Muslims.
