Syrian rebel women hold demonstration for Al Qaeda.

This footage of an Anti-Assad demonstration in which the participants proudly display the flag of Al Qaeda, which is afforded noticably more prominence than the old national flag adopted by the rebels, shows just how strong the currents of violent Jihadism and extremism run among the opposition in Syria. 

The widespread use of Al Qaeda insignia and rhetoric on the part of Syria's rebels, while largely ignored in the Western media, provides a strong indication as to their vision of Syria's future.
