What we have here is an idiocy of previously unknown scale. Who thinks that the Syrian government can agree to the establishment of a transitional government and surrender the country politically after it defended it military for years, must be a greater fool than even the lord of fools.
The Syrian government grants amnesty to non-terrorist combatants who quit fighting and supports and even invented the idea of reconciliation. That does not mean that it surrenders the reconciled municipalities but instead takes full control thereof while the armed groups either leave or quit fighting.

The idea of a transitional government is not supported by the Syrian government. Syrian President Dr. Bashar al-Assad made utterly clear that he conditions his political future on the will of the Syrian people.
Thus, as the Syrians definitely know well, which government they can trust and which not, a transitional government that can only end up in an US-controlled exploitation regime is excluded.

For anyone who is of the opinion that armed terrorist groups should have a say in a constitutional state the Syrians have only one answer: Get lost!

The problem with Islamists in Syria is equal to the problem with Islamists in western countries:
While we allow them to be Islamists we would never allow them to touch our values or partition the country.

If western figures insist on granting soil to those Islamists, it can be only their own soil they can promise.
If the Syrian government and rebels claim for Syrian soil, who are we to decide on whose expense this soil should be distributed? This would be a civil war and our natural ally is the Syrian government, not Islamists.
And those rebels are Islamists. They despise our values and liberties. So this is not civil war, but it is jihad and it is the duty of the international community to take it down!
