I noticed you had asked already; I even prepared a post, then deleted, as I don't want to see people quoting me to perhaps say I speak for Terrorist or whatever nonsense, but since I took a look ... as far as I know only has been designated as a terrorist organization (note I won't respond to any comments, plus there's no Mod looking at this thread):

in short, after one week or so of Government offensive the contact line goes through residential districts almost everywhere, so in my comfortable chair I expect the urban combat to begin: street by street, house by house, floor by floor, ...

Having previously promoted an Islamic state under Sharia law,[42] as of 2015 Jaysh al-Islam wants the Assad regime to be replaced by a technocratic body that represents the diversity of the Syrian people
Sounds more like a PR move

I’m surprised I tell you, surprised!
Like clockwork, the terrorists in white helmets make unsubstantiated claims of chemical weapons attacked, and the UN Human Rights Council is already condemning Assad before any possibility of verification.
The site of the attack is so militarily significant the BBC couldn’t even find it to mark on their map that went with the story.
The military and strategic significance of the alleged attack site is further reinforced by the fact that only civilians were reported to have been hit, and the Syrian government forces were able to take great advantage of the evaluation to seize strategically critical ground.
How could anyone capable of radional thought and basic independent analysis not conclude that it made perfect sense for Assad to order this chemical attack?

The success of Syrian government's military campaign against those who have sought to destroy the country, is considered by the Western countries as a threat to their cause. The question to ask is, why is Syria so important to the West anyways? It doesn't have "Oil," well at least not in the quantity that would justify the means. And why now? Why has the West put up with the Assad Regimes (father and son) for over 50 years now? Why not have done away with the regime when they toppled Saddam? What's so threatening about the Assad Regime to the West that it wants it gone by any means necessary? These are pertinent questions that one must ask in order to make sense of this mess (which the West is responsible for without a shred of doubt) in Syria.
One can only sensibly assess the mess in Syria, when one asks questions that need answering.
There many parties involved in a war, which at first was dubbed as "Syrian Civil War." Why then, when it is an internal Syrian matter. Are countries who have no economic, political or military link with Syria, involved in this war? America, Britain, France and Saudi Arabia have nothing to do with Syria. If America and Britain argue the "Israel" card, then they would be hard pressed to make any valid claims that Syria has or could threaten this tiny country's existence. Military to military there is no match between the two. Besides Syria is so embroiled in this war against terrorists and so-called rebels, that the last thing Syria would want is a fight with Israel. So if that argument is null and void, then why would America and Britain be in Syria?
Turkey has a direct border with Syria, so we can give them some leeway. But what does Saudi Arabia have anything to do with Syrian Civil War? The Saudis may bring up their old, beaten down argument about Iran. But their involvement only began a few years after the Civil War had utterly destroyed the country. Then why would the Saudis, and by that I mean not the government, rather their main Wahhabi Ikhwaan power base who have not only the money, but also the connections to keep a strong line of financial, military and political support for the likes or HTS, ISIS, ATS, JI and other fancy named, deluded bunch of yuppies who have murdered and slaughtered tens of thousands of innocent Muslims in Syria.
Eastern Ghouta, for all intents and purposes is their (the West) Alamo. When the Syrian Government forces and it's allies defeat the terrorist threat near the Capital. It would give way to Syrian Government forces to eliminate remaining terrorists between Damascus and it's territorial borders with Lebanon, Jordan and the UN monitored area of Golan Heights. It is Eastern Ghouta's close proximity to Damascus which is so vital to the Western interests. At such a distance, gives the terrorists a fighting chance to threaten the main power base of the Syrian Government. Which is why the Western mainstream media is in such frenzy about reporting the "atrocities" of the Syrian Government forces. When in reality the terrorists are not allowing any ceasefire or any so-called humanitarian supplies to pass through.
There is an english saying, "what goes around, comes around." The murder and slaughter of innocent Muslims of Syria, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia will come back to haunt the West. No evil act shall go unpunished, that is as sure as the sun blazing in the sky.
