This article might answer your question. Looks like it's about religion and oil yet again. More detailed than the media's portrait of Assad as just simply bloodthirsty dictator who mass murdered his own cities. In reality, what happened more or less was that entire towns got taken over by the Islamists, leading the Syrian forces to bomb them to drive away the terrorists, definitely causing some civilian casualties. These casualties were then paraded by the media as proof that Assad was crazy when they never talked about the full back story.
Of course, none of us has the access to real government intelligence so everything is just theories and explanations. The problem is that the mainstream media very effectively convinces people that the angle they are showing is the absolute truth.
