What Assad and his regime have demonstrated ability with, and that the Jihadists have proven incapable of doing: governance. Aside from that, there’s no comparison: the native rebels are in the right and Assad is a savage beast who has murdered tens, if not hundreds, of thousands. So I call BS on the general tenor of the article. But I suppose everyone is going to pick their b*stards based on ideological stance. Body counts apparently count for nothing.

there’s a general feeling that the movement of restoration of democracy in Syria has been hijacked by militants. Syria at the moment has become a magnet for international jehadis. Keeping this in view its understandable if the moderate factions of the movement are feeling sidelined and hence getting disillusioned.
