My point in what you think is a poorly crafted sentence is that what he says does not seem to be something that can be taken at face value. What I am saying is that the resident's comments on Assad, FSA or ISIS are not to be trusted. Nor are they totally accurate on who is a "civilian" and who is in "ISIS" - as they include anyone from their town whether they work for ISIS or not.

Given the brutality of ISIS and the fact that they are firmly in charge, they have no good alternative. Either forces attack ISIS and many of them will be killed in the cross fire or ISIS continues as their brutal rulers.
