Then how did they come to power?
and what about hazrat ali (ra) ?.
how did he come to lead?

Divine decree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!may be

Go read by yourself ... if even there were elected they were caliphs of People not Khlafata-Allah ... Khalphata-Allah must be chosen by Allah not by people .. as Rasoul-Allah were chosen by Allah .... as all prophets and all sucossors were ... as the last one is chosen too ....
By the way Abubakr caliphate came through "Saghife" ... when Bani Hashem were preparing for Prophet (pbuh) funeral they gathered in Saghife and neglected their prophet (pbuh) funeral ... while men like Imam Ali(As) , Abuzar , Salman, Balal, Ibn Abbas and many others were not present in Saghife ....
Second one was directly chosen by the first one.
The last one was chosen through a committee set by second caliph ... and one with veto ... Imam Ali (as) refused to follow the Sunna of two previous caliphs and insisted on Book of God and sunna of prophet (pbuh) something that Uthman accepted (Sunna of two previous caliphs) and became caliph ...
Imam Ali (as) were chosen by Allah .. no doubt in that ... but people chose him too go and read it by yourself how people forced him to accept the caliphate and he was rejecting ...

Imam Ali (as) was born in Kabba ... what about your caliphs?

I think at this point it's a good time to remind you that when it comes to Muslims, YOU are the invaders. The Jews and Christians were there long before you.

You took lands by force and wiped out other people.

So if you get pushed back in areas like Israel and are being prevented from invading even more land, it's not only a good thing - but it's putting things right.

No such thing, Arabs are original inhabitants and always have been. Hebrews are from Africa. European ashkeNazis are Russian/European and illegal squatters who pose great threat to the original inhabitants and have to be apprehended. Muslims aren't a race. Before African Jews there were canaanites invaded by African Jews. Then Europeans invaded the hebrews.

You just said it yourself...you don't want IS 'utopia' Sharia as you called it. You want your own 'Rashidun' equality puppies, smiles and ponies equality Sharia. What's wrong with IS wanting their own brand and fighting to achieve it? Not that I like IS, I'm just trying to be consistent..

They're going against all of the principles of Sharia. There's this thing called Tamkeen where under a time of crisis (like you know, the war right now), capital punishment is forbidden. There's also the forgiveness factor and ISIS really don't seem like they love to forgive people.

It is a small town. It was a big battle and took months to win. Then again, this war will last centuries, so every win is important.

The land route to Aleppo is still open, the map shows like it has been cut off.

The main road to Aleppo is cut off since 2012. Secondary road passes through desert and thats what the map shows.

This map is more accurate. Nusra is colored gray / white. Most of Daraa is under government control. On your map it looks like half and half.

Hazrat Ali (ra) was rejecting the will of Allah.....

As regards to being born in kabba , there is no definite proof of that and if we accept it regarding hazrat ali (ra) then we have to accept it regarding Hakeem bin Hizam also as those that have held this view lived two centuries earlier than those that held the view that only `Ali did.

His Imamat started since departure of prophet (pbuh) ... this position is given by God as the prophethood is from God .... and has got nothing with people, he was Imam even when people didn't follow him and neglected the teachings of prophet (pbuh) ... amongst all prophets a handful of them had chance to govern to bring justice.


And why Imam Ali was rejecting Caliphate not Imamat is this:

After Jamal war Ibn Abbas saw Imam Ali (pbuh) repairing and sewing his old torn shoes .... Imam Ali (as) asked Ibn Abbas how much do you think these shoes are worth? I replied " these shoes are old and worthless" .... Imam Ali (as) replied swear to God these worthless shoes are more worthy to me than governing on you expect If I could :

و الله لهى أحب إلى من إمرتكم إلا أن اقيم حقا أو أدفع باطلا.
​

On the other hand he wanted to govern base on Quran and Sunna of Prophet (pbuh) while due to sunnah of previous caliphs many thing had got changed specially people which was in contradiction of sunnah of Prophet:

وإن بليتكم قد عادت كهيئتها يوم بعث اللّه نبيّكم والذي بعثه بالحق
and
ولتساطنّ سوط القدر حتّى يعود أسفلكم أعلاكم وأعلاكم أسفلكم
and
واللّه لو وجدته قد تزوّج به النساء وملك به الإماء لررددته،​

His justice was the main reason behind his martyrdom ...

And about birthplace:

Someone desperately wanna cover something:

Druze join the fight against Salafists after Nusra slaughtered Druze in Quneitra

Syrian military and Druze allies join forces to fend off 'terrorists' - LA Times

The article is incorrect that the government is comprised of minorities. Not true at all. At least half of Syria's Sunni Arabs are Baathists and they fight under the SAA banner. Syria's defense minister and prime minister are both Sunnis.

Syria's Sunnis hate Salafists. Salafists slaughter everyone. Sunnis, Shias, Christians, Druze, you name it. That's why everyone hates Salafists.

Why I hate Assadists:
Here a prominent Assadist on twitter replies to a pro-opposition guy's video on torture happening in prisons.

If you watch the video, you'll get 47th's context. The guys were telling him to worship Bashar and yet somehow Assadists ignore that. This was the original video. Obviously graphic: جيش بشار يعذب طفل حتى الموت،،، شيء لا يصدقه عقل - YouTube

GRAPHIC: Video of Assadists with captured FSA fighter who was clearly tortured - they tell him to defect from FSA and join SAA, he complies and then they shoot him.

27,000 Druze joined SAA to fight Nusra. Oh you are dead this time, Salafists. Druze are hardcore warriors.

This map is more accurate. Nusra is colored gray / white. Most of Daraa is under government control. On your map it looks like half and half.

Map I posted excludes empty deserts and gives much better picture. Wiki map paints empty deserts which gives way unproportional advantage to IS.
