Al-Nusra Front: US Has Declared War on Islam

Reacting to American air strikes aimed at terrorist forces in Syria, the Al-Nusra Front charged that the United States has declared war on Islam and promised a struggle lasting “months, years or decades.” Like ISIS, the group getting the most attention because of its barbaric behavior as it rolls over village after village while carving out a caliphate from territory in Iraq and Syria, the Al-Nusra Front is also an offshoot of Al-Qa’ida – originally intended to cover Syria while ISIS managed Iraq. “Scores” of Al-Nusra members were reported killed by US strikes on the first day of the American campaign. US officials claim the strikes are being coordinated with the Free Syrian Army forces, the so-called “moderate” rebels seeking President Bashar Al-Assad’s overthrow.
