One way to mitigate the danger of inadvertently helping al-Qaeda in Syria would be to deploy a more aggressive information campaign to expose it for what it is and what it wants. Al-Qaeda in Syria seeks to portray itself as a combination of freedom fighters and Islamic holy warriors. In fact, it is a bunch of thugs and murderers. Zarqawi, the figure from whom both factions draw inspiration, was a petty Jordanian criminal who turned to violent jihadism in jail and then embarked on a murderous campaign against Iraqi Shiites, killing thousands of Muslims.
