God I hope HTS (aka Al Nusra Front aka Al Qaeda) is honest when they say they'll treat minorities well but judging by the record Salafist regimes have, I won't count on it. I genuinely worry for the Christians, Druze, Kurds, etc who will probably start to get the dhimmi treatment first and genocide after.
As for Syria, I predict it collapsing into an Afghanistan type existence. The rebels will form a government, find it tiresome and plenty will defect to the next militia to keep fighting for "true Islam". Violence and repression will escalate. Even the same next set of baddies, ISIL. I hope the democrats, Christians, Alawites, secularists and Kurds can band together and truly launch Rojava as an independent and internationally recognized state.
