Is it possible to support the rebels that AREN'T being supported by Islamic extremist groups that will mostl ikely assume control and create a Islamic Fundamentalist state? If so, I like that idea.

No, because the Gulf will never allow otherwise. Not to mention that almost all the "rebels" on the ground have fantasies of committing sectarian genocide after the war, or moving on to massacring people in neighbouring Lebanon, or pass through Iraq to then massacre against Iranians, which some of these "rebels" already call "Rafidah", "Mushrikis", amongst other names, that to them "must be cleansed".

Trust me, I have heard this rhetoric from lots of them too many times not to think otherwise.

I think the main issue with the Syrian Revolt is that people don't know who the rebels are.

Question: Why should we care if the Syrians are in a civil war? If they use chemical warfare on eachother, it is their problem, not ours. Let natural selection take its course in form of civil war. Let the Syrians fix it themselves, and if the rebels win, and terrorist attacks are launched on our nation, let's blast them to the stone age.

I am going to have to get a transcript of my old Tweeter conversations with some of them (which I shall telegramme to you later), as well as retrieve the videos I found where "rebel" commanders deliberately said such things on numerous occasions, in addition to screenshot the comments areas of some of these videos where they added the "Rafidah, Mushriki" etcetera insults against Alawites & Shi'a.
