At what point did Al-Qaeda begin aligning itself with rebels? Are there rebel groups that have not been influenced by terrorist groups?

Do all Syrian Christians support Assad? Did any Syrian Christians originally join protests? How much does the Lebanese Christian "lobby" and Hezbollah's influence affect the actions of Syrian Christians?

Thanks for answering all these questions Raja and Patrick. I'm covering Syrian Christians for a publication right now--which is why I'm so interested. Could you give more detail about the Iraqi Christians that moved to Syria? Up to this point, I feel like I've read much more about traditional Christian communities being pillaged (Maaloula) than about the story of these refugees. Also, what is the relationship between Christian Syrians and Iraqis? Do they both speak Aramaic?
