The backlash within Syria to the U.S. decision to designate the Syrian-based jihadist group Jabhat al-Nusra as a terrorist organization has been swift. Opposition to the designation, which was officially announced on Dec. 11, extends well beyond groups ideologically sympathetic to Jabhat al-Nusra’s radical goals. After more than 40,000 deaths, the starvation and torture of many, and the sadistic tactics of the Assad regime, Syrians now want the fall of the regime more than ever — even if that means temporarily embracing groups with suspect long-term goals.
The Barack Obama administration’s designation of Jabhat al-Nusra asserts that the group is an extension of al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) — merely one of the terrorist organization’s aliases. Whether this is the case or whether the administration is issuing the designation as part of a political effort to convince the opposition to shun Jabhat al-Nusra, the move will likely fail to marginalize the group at this juncture. Following the fall of the regime, however, it could help sideline the most destructive influences trying to gain a foothold in post-Assad Syria.
The reaction among anti-Assad Syrians was perhaps best captured by an image that appeared on Facebook shortly after news of the planned designation broke last week. In the picture, residents of the northwestern town of Kafr Anbel hold up a poster showing Obama pointing accusingly toward aflag associated with Jabhat al-Nusra, saying “Terrorism.” Behind the U.S. president, however, is Syrian President Bashar al-Assad standing triumphant on a pile of murdered Syrian civilians.
The image reflects the reality that the Syrian opposition simply does not view Jabhat al-Nusra as the primary threat to the country — that designation still belongs to Assad’s murderous army. Nor is it lost on Syrians that the Obama administration has provided scant military assistance in their efforts to topple the regime — but is now singling out a rebel group that has become perhaps their revolution’s most effective fighting force. This is a view that seems to extend well beyond Jabhat al-Nusra’s ideological milieu: None of the individuals in the Kafr Anbel picture, for example, look like Islamists or Salafis.

President Barack Obama’s administration is reportedly planning to designate the Syrian jihadist group Jabhat al-Nusra (“the Support Front”) as a terrorist organization. The group, which was firstannounced in late January 2012, has become a growing part of the armed opposition due to its fighting prowess — perhaps no surprise, as many of its fighters honed their skills in battlefields in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Yemen. As a result, Jabhat al-Nusra has carved out an important niche in the fight to oust the Syrian regime even as it remains outside of the mainstream opposition.
The U.S. administration, in designating Jabhat al-Nusra, is likely to argue that the group is an outgrowth of the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI). While there is not much open-source evidence of this, classified material may offer proof — and there is certainly circumstantial evidence that Jabhat al-Nusra operates as a branch of the ISI.
There’s no denying that Jabhat al-Nusra is deadly: It has claimed responsibility for more than 500 attacks since its creation, including a series of suicide bombings. Unique among rebel groups operating in Syria, it has also earned the legitimacy of top global jihadist ideologues, who have called for grassroots supporters across the world to help fund or join up with the group. And foreign fighters have answered the call: Based on data from al Qaeda’s online forums, of the 46 individuals for which the forums have provided “martyrdom” notices and announced their group affiliation, 20 fought with Jabhat al-Nusra. Since Oct. 1, almost all of the notices that mention affiliation have reported that the fighter was aligned with Jabhat al-Nusra.

الحمد لله رب العالمين , والصلاة والسلام على المبعوث رحمة للعالمين , وعلى آله وصحبه الطيبين الطاهرين وبعد :
فإننا نحمد الله جل في علاه , أن جعلنا جندا في سبيله مقاتلين , وعن شريعته الغراء ذابين مدافعين , ولرفعة كلمته طالبين , وعن عرض المسلمين محاربين .
ولقد إعتاد الكفر وأذنابه في بلاد المسلمين , تشويه سمعة الموحدين , والتلبيس عليهم , في حقيقة قتال المجاهدين وتضحياتهم , وليس هذا على أمة الإسلام بجديد .
إننا إخوانكم في جيش الصحابة في بلاد الشام , نتوجه من أعماق قلوبنا , لإخوة التوحيد وحملة رايته في جماعة جبهة النصرة , بأحر التهاني , على إدراج رأس الكفر أمريكا إسمهم على قائمة المنظمات الإرهابية , فذلك شرف عظيم , أن لايرضى عنهم الكفر العالمي , وتلك علامة خير , وأمارة حق , وبشرى على إحقاق حق الله سبحانه وتعالى على عبيده , فلله الحمد والمنة من قبل ومن بعد .
وإننا نهيب بإخواننا المجاهدين على أرض الشام المبارك , دعم الإخوة في جبهة النصرة , وأن يذبوا عنهم , ويحموا ظهورهم , وأن يقفوا درعا في وجه من يريد النيل منهم , فما علمنا عنهم إلا خيرا , حماه للدين , وحرس لحدوده , وخنجر مسنون في ظهر الأسد وجنده , نحسبهم والله حسيبهم .
ونقول لكل متربص بالإخوة في جبهة النصرة , وبكل موحد مجاهد على أرض الشام , خبتم وخسئتم , فسهامنا لصدروكم مصقولة , وسيوفنا لردعكم مسنونة , ودمائنا دون دماء إخواننا , ونحرنا دون نحرهم .
نسأل الله سبحانه وتعالى بمنه وكرمه أن يسدد رمي الموحدين , ويذل المجرمين وأعوانهم , ويجعل كيدهم في نحرهم بجبروته وعظمته , اللهم إله الحق جبار السموات والأرض , من علينا بنصر قريب , و شام يحكم فيه بشرعك , اللهم تولنا , وأغفر لنا , وتقبل منا , إنك سميع قريب , وآخر دعوانا أن الحمد لله رب العالمين .
