Western media ignore Al Qaeda's powerful role in the insurgency

Numerous videos emanating from Syria, in which fighters professing their loyalty to the militant group stand before the flag of Al Qaeda is yet another reminder that militant Islamists are now the most powerful force behind the  rebellion in Syria, both militarily and ideologically. The fact that these people stand to gain the most from Western interference and action against the Assad regime has become increasingly obvious as more evidence of their significant presence and numerous atrocities begin to emerge.

The fact that Western politicians and media organisations are portraying what can only be described as an Islamist insurgency as a peaceful movement for democracy shows just how wrong Western journalists are when it comes to Syria. Gripped by unsubstantiated and often false claims made by anti-Assad 'human rights organisations' and 'activists' they are failing to do their duty and portray the conflict and the opposition in a manner that reflects the reality.
