I was reading all this at:

Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant - Wikipedia, the free ...

And found the whole list of allies and opponents kind of confusing and so decided to share what little I know on this subject so at least a few more of you will better understand what is being said here.

First of all The Syrian Government is only an ally of ISIL if ISIL is killing Syrian Rebels for Assad or if Assad is making a deal with ISIL making electricity with oil wells he has given them in return for them not attacking his army.

Also, opponents of ISIL are also Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, the U.S. France, England, possibly Germany and most of Europe and many other countries like Australia around the world.

I think what I said here clarifies allies and opponents a little. In some ways there is no one group or nation that completely agrees with ISIL about anything. So, in one sense they don't have any allies really when push comes to shove unless you consider the soldiers joining ISIL as allies and there are a lot of those.

Also, Russia might hate ISIL more than any other group on earth because some of the leaders are Chechens of which the Russian ARMY has already killed about 250,000 of them which is about the same amount as Russia has killed of Sunnis through Assad.
