Fighting against ISIS

"From Baghdad to Beirut, a growing backlash against the most extreme of the jihadists ".   This leading passage in the Economist is quite inaccurate.  There is no backlash against the "most extreme of the Jihadists"--notice the new language of Western media these days, they distinguish between the "most extreme" and the "less extreme" of the Jihadists thereby implying that some are good and some are bad--in Beirut.  In fact, the March 14 environment has been most welcoming to the ISIS and other Jihadists and have provided justifications for their bombings at every corner. What backlash?
