Why does he support him? I can partially understand it but not fully.
According to this board if revolutionists prevail there'll be shariat like in Iran. I don't comprehense this logic, please enlighten me.

Iran of course wants to keep it's dog Assad in power, and this why they keep pumping life support. However this does not matter how much aide Iran send to the Assadites, the revolt will continue. The fact of the matter even if Assad will have the upper-hand in the conflict, many of the rebels and the tribes have vowed to still continue the fight until Assad lose. So it does not matter, but this good, because it showed Iran's agenda of having a Shia Crescent being demolished. Iran also faces another problem in Iraq itself, so the hopes of it becoming a regional power in the region is nothing but a nightmare for Iran right now. Iran's also faces pressure from Turkey. Jordan is also an important key player in making Iran confined, this because Jordan neighbours the Shia Crescent which is a threat to it, thus having Assad be out, would provide a relief. Then of course Iran's traditional enemies like Saudi Arabia, Qatar who have strong tribal support in Syria itself, will make the conflict will not go away. Assad also lost his legitimacy to many people.

No, many of the rebels don't want an Islamist government, but many also do. Some of the people who joined the revolt is because of oppression, cultural and political marginalization, and somewhat prosecution. However this war is a sectarian one, it's between Shia's and Sunnis. The Sunnis in Syria were oppressed, and so were the Syrian Desert tribes. However the conflict was then encouraged on by the Sunni lead governments of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Jordan, and this was in hopes of limiting Iran's power and influence, especially after 2003, when Iraq became Iran's puppet in the region. With Shia lead government in Iraq, Syria, and Hezbollah acting like the de facto government of Lebanon, this was called the Shia Crescent. Jordan was extremely in high alert, and so was Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey.

Also the tribal population continued to appeal to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the Gulf monarchies for aide, and they have provided. So Iran gives one side support, we have our support, and that's linked by tribal relationship and bloodlines. The fight will continue until Assad fall, and God willing he will.
