Dear Mr. alibob
To understand true nationalism, I respectfully suggest you read Antun Sa3adeh.
What does the SSNP stand for, you ask?
In a nut shell: "The aim of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party is the creation of a Syrian Social Nationalist renaissance which will fulfill its declared principles and return the Syrian nation to vitality and strength; the organization of a movement seeking the complete independence of the Syrian nation and the vindication of its sovereignty; the establishment of a new order to protect its interest and raise its standard of living; and the endeavor to form an Arab front."
As for the Nation we struggle to unite, it is defined in the fifth Basic Principle of the party: "The Syrian homeland is that geographic environment in which the Syrian nation evolved. It has distinct natural boundaries and extends from the Taurus range in the northwest and the Zagros mountains in the northeast to the Suez canal and the Red Sea in the south and includes the Sinai peninsula and the gulf of Aqaba, and from the Syrian sea in the west, including the island of Cyprus, to the arch of the Arabian desert and the Persian gulf in the east. (This region is also known as the Syrian Fertile Crescent). "
What about Cyprus, you Ask? It is geographically closer to Syria than it is to any other land, therefore we see as detrimental to our security, the security of a unified Syria.
For more, please check the rest of this site.
For the principles look up "About the SSNP" .
For a map of Syria: Check "About syria".
And if you really would like to know us read Some of Sa3adeh's many books.
