    Edit: my words; Just to make you feel better, an overwhelming majority of the Dutch muslims (74%) thinks dutch muslims who pack up to fight are heroes. Can be be nuanced I suppose, as the questions asked are more about fighting against Assad rather than fighting for IS. But they can't have missed what IS actually does. Smileys are flying all over the internet about the beheaded journalist.
    Those rebels are also fighting against IS.

    So, to say that 74% of the dutch muslim populations applauds those fighting IS is an equally accurate conclusion. You should be rejoicing.
    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban

    Except that IS in the Syrian context is also a rebel group.

    It's a rebel group fighting the other rebel groups more than they fight Assad.

    Wonderful bunch, aren't they?

    You imply otherwise.

    You could have made the argument that 74% of dutch muslims oppose Assad, but you drew a rather different conclusion, mixing in ISIS without any justification.

    True, but these guys don't join the Assadoposers, the free Syryan army doesn't want them, they join IS, European homegrown jihadi's. We got a problem, these are just the really determined.
