| − | Indeed, the modern [[nation state]] of Syria was created in a non-competition clause of a trade agreement between the British and French Empires. Syria would not exist as a bureaucracy or state entity otherwise (recall, Shariah law does not recognize corporate entities, and secular governments are corporate entities) and was always staffed by secular locals who respected the rights of foreigners and non-Muslims. Even Barack Obama's half-brother in Dinesh D'Souza's [[2016: Obama's America]] had acknowledged that they shouldn't have thrown off the colonists until after they've learned how to make bicycles. | + | Indeed, the modern [[nation state]] of Syria was created in a non-competition clause of a trade agreement between the British and French Empires.

| | This confusion of facts in Marxist propaganda and American school textbooks has led to some amazing, outlandish, and incredible dichotomies and claims. In 2014 for example when the [[Islamic State]] was declared, [[Wikipedia]] claimed that Syria had won its "independence" from France in 1940 when France "liberated" Syria from France. The article has since been cleaned up somewhat, but still leaves more questions than answers for serious students seeking to understand the contemporary Syrian conflict, sans Marxist distortion of terms and historical meaning. | | This confusion of facts in Marxist propaganda and American school textbooks has led to some amazing, outlandish, and incredible dichotomies and claims.
