It is easy to find supporters of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) using Nusayri when talking about the people they are fighting. Further, in June 2013, Hassan Aboud, leader of the Islamic Front's strongest faction, Ahrar al-Sham, in an interview on Al Jazeera Arabic stated: "What is happening in Syria is that the country has been ruled by a Nusayri idea, a Shi'a group that came to power and started discriminating against the Sunni people. They prevented them from practicing their religion and painted a picture of Islam that is far from what Islam is, with traditions and practices that are not Islamic at all. It wanted to wipe true Islam from the country."
