A group that observes jihadist chatter on the Internet says that a new anti-government militant group has emerged in Syria and has claimed responsibility for dozens of deadly attacks.

The SITE monitoring group said late Tuesday that a shadowy group calling itself the Al-Nusra Front said in statements on jihadist websites that the attacks sought revenge against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad for killing Syrians.

Little is known about the Al-Nusra Front, and the statements could not be independently verified. The group has claimed past attacks in similar posts.

It doesn’t matter what they call themselves, Muslims just are not happy unless they are forcing their cult;s views on someone.

They have many cults, many names—glorious sounding names.—but it all adds up to enjoying making slaves of everone but their particular sect.Like they enjoy making slaves of their women.Evidently their women like it that way.
