      Walid Shawkan, the new commander of the displaced group, said fighters with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria attacked his men in the town of Dana after a dispute over weapons. The Islamists seized the arms and declared the fighters from the Hamza Lion of God brigade to be apostates.
    • The emergence of the Islamist forces has also hurt the mainstream rebels by making the U.S. and other Western powers worry that if they provide military aid it could end up in the hands of terrorists.
    • More like "will end up in the hands of terrorists." Extremists, especially those who believe that they are doing the will of the Creator, tend to be well organized and highly motivated. We really need to be very careful about whom we are supporting in this conflict.
