Hi Glenn. 
I am sorry to confuse you.  You jumped so quickly to say something negative about my comment I think you missed the meaning of some of the words.  I like Tulsi because she comes from a cosmopolitan background.  See, my comment was about Tulsi.  You conflated this comment with the population of Syria.  

Syria before the uprising was a "multi-culturally tolerant" society ruled by an Assad family dynasty.  It was not a particularly "cosmopolitan" society, but it was tolerant of other religions, including Jews and Christians.  

Just as a point of reference, if you continue to rudely reply (Mr/Mrs/robot Alohapolitics, ) with sarcasm and plain insults as you did I will not reply to you further.

Aloha
