Syrian Civil War Caused by Zionism And Napoleon

What's a day, or an hour, in the Muslim world without a Jew-hating conspiracy theory to stoke the masses? The latest lunacy: Syrians slaughter Syrians, says Adnan Azzam, a French-Syrian writer, not because they are a bunch of fratricidal clans and tribes with competing visions of Islam, but because Jews and, er, Napoleon are in control.

Or something.

This spellbinding theory comes not from some ignorant, unhinged imam, but an ignorant, unhinged Syrian-French intellectual, a Knight of the Légion d'honneur, the highest honor France can bestow.

I presume Azzam is not even aware that the Légion d'honneur was established by Napoleon, whom he accuses of being a secret Zionist.
