Yeah, that bit in bold is kinda the problem. The Syrian rebels are Islamists much as ISIL are, just the 'wrong kind' of Islamists for ISIL. Both of them are packing tons of guns from Russia and the gulf states.
Perhaps if Saudi Arabia stopped dicking around trying to promote Wahhabism and stopped funding terrorism things wouldn't be so messed up either in the Middle East or the rest of the world.
I have no interest in taking lessons in pretty much anything from a regressive, misogynistic, frankly backwards country that competes with Qatar to be the major paymaster for international terrorism, is the driving force behind Islamism in much of the world, and whose primary contribution to human rights recently has been an attempt to enact blasphemy laws throughout the world.
