Activists report 1,300 are killed in Syria gas attack

The problem Em is that your average Ahmed may have his heart in the right place, but he's not educated in ruling a country. When Bashar al-Assad is overrun and the average Ahmed needs to run the country, he'll need to address the face that there are terrorist elements still in his country. If he doesn't stamp them out, then there is no stability in his country. However, if he tries, he'll have a difficult time identifying the terrorists from other average Ahmed. As he fights the terrorists, he'll unavoidably violate the rights of other average Ahmeds. At that time he'll be considered a dictator, and other average Ahmeds will want to rise up against him.

influential how? almost every other rebel group is thankful of their military support and decries their politics. they're outnumbered as far as troops are concerned(almost 8:1 when compared to the free syrian army), with their only real power in aleppo, and most of the other islamist groups are larger than they are.

and on top of all that, they have no allies in the area other than their own islamist network. the worst thing thing for them is for this civil war to end because once the military is no longer fighting secular forces as well, there is nothing to stop them from rooting out the salafists and crushing them. add to that the power of the kurdish brigades and hezbollah and they have little chance of gaining, let alone holding, power in syria.
