Corbyn hasn't demanded anything from Labour MPs. He's clearly stated that he doesn't think Cameron has made a case for bombing Syria and that he is opposed to it. He would like a debate on this, and then Labour MPs will have a free vote on it. Hopefully enough of them will be rational and understand that indiscriminate bombing of civilians is what got us in this mess in the first place, so another wave isn't going to defeat anyone. Other than innocent Syrians.
Corbyn wrote to all the Labour MPs demanding they vote against military action. He hasn't given them a free vote at all! That's why he is facing a mass rebellion.
