You stated that there was evidence that the sarin gas didn't come from the Syrian governments stash to start with, something the evidence fails to support. In fact what it shows is that Syria had stock piles it failed to report.
The issue isn't whether the rebels have ever used sarin gas, the issue is whether or not the Syrian government used sarin gas against non-combatants. And the evidence is pretty clear that they did. If the rebels used it, they wouldn't have used it in predominantly Sunni areas which is where most of the casualties are. They didn't gas themselves.
I can give you a source but you will say its a biased site or a biased media outlet. But I would think since the UN is heavily leaning towards rebel responsibility then it has merit.

Yes, it is an umbrella organization rather like the PLO. But it does not include the Islamist factions contrary to your claim that all the rebels are Islamist terrorists.
Todays moderates are tomorrows terrorists. If the FSA is an umbrella group of differing militias and different goals then its safe to say they will turn on each other like they have been doing, switching sides, pledging alliances and allegiances with extreme elements. Assad is the only moderate. Here is one faction of the FSA, real name "DIVISION 30" that handed over their CIA issued weapons to Al Quaeda three weeks ago immediately upon entering Syria:
