I just shows what a mess the Syrian civil war situation is.
Syrian Kurds: Enemy of the Islamic State and NATO member Turkey
Syrian Opposition: Enemy of the Islamic State and Bashar al-Assad, allied with al-Nusra Front (al-Qaeda affiliate) and the United States
Syrian Government: Enemy of the Islamic State, the Syrian Opposition, and the al-Nusra Front, allied with Russia
al-Nusra Front: Enemy of the Islamic State, Bashar al-Assad, and the United States, allied with al-Qaeda and the Syrian Opposition
Turkey: Enemy of the Islamic State and the Syrian Kurds, allied with the United States
The enemy of the enemy is my friend, but the the friend of my friend is also my enemy. And sometimes the enemy of my enemy is still my enemy.
Consensus is that the Islamic State is by far the worst faction, everything else is a matter of preference and how far you're willing to compromise in order to fight the IS. Opinions differ on whether the Islamic State is bad enough to turn a blind eye on Assad (who's really really evil, but quite as evil as the IS).
