Wa'el Azayat, President of Emgage, explains the basics of what's happening in Syria from its colonial history, the strict rule of the Assad family and government, the Syrian people's fight for basic freedoms, and all of the key players' interests, including the United States. Wa'el also discusses how the fight abroad has encouraged American states to adopt laws that foster fear of Muslim Americans here at home.
