Das schliesst sich in keinerweise gegenseitig aus...
Kann sein, aber Bombenanschläge, ob inkl. Selbstmordattentäter oder ohne,
wurden schon immer als Terrorismus und die Attentäter als Terroristen bezeichnet,
nur im Thema Syrien setzt man sie in Anführungszeichen.
Leider ist bewaffnete Front in Syrien unterwandert von islamistischen Extremisten, das ist eine Realität. Und viele sehen im Moment nur Regime wie gehabt als Alternative.
"Sehnsucht nach Ende der Kämpfe
Hunderttausende Syrer sind vor den Kämpfen in die Nachbarländer geflohen, oder Flüchtlinge im eigenen Land.
Ein Oppositioneller wiederum sprach von einer erschreckend hohen Wahlbeteiligung auf dem Land. Auch an der Grenze zwischen Syrien und dem Libanon standen Tausende syrische Flüchtlinge Schlange, um ihre Stimmen abgeben zu können. Viele sagten Reportern, sie würden Assad wählen, weil sie sich nach drei Jahren nach einem Ende des Bürgerkrieges sehnen.
Vor allem die die Minderheiten im Land wie Christen, Alawiten und Drusen fürchten sich vor den radikal-islamischen Milizen und sehen in Assad einen Garant für ihre Sicherheit."

"The emergence since December 2013 of four noteworthy moderate Islamist insurgent fronts (Jabhat Thowar Suriyya, Jaish al-Mujahideen, Harakat Hazm, and Faylaq al-Sham) and the more informal Southern Front alliance has been a consequential development. All these forces have subsequently enjoyed increased levels of external support (primarily US- and Saudi-led) and their roles within the overall conflict have increased resultantly. All of this -- compounded by the highly symbolic provision of American-manufactured and likely Saudi-supplied anti-tank weaponry to some of these forces -- appears to have had a discernible effect upon the strategic calculations of the largest insurgent alliance in Syria, the Islamic Front, which counts approximately 50,000 fighters within its ranks."

"Along with other al Qaeda-linked groups, Harakat Sham helped turn what began in 2011 as a largely secular and peaceful uprising against autocratic President Bashar al-Assad into a sectarian war."
http://online.wsj.com/articles/after-guantanamo-freed-detainees-return-to-violence-in-syria-battlefields-1401839291 (Archiv-Version vom 06.06.2014)"Harakat Ahrar ash-Sham Al Islami (Arabic: حركة أحرار الشام الإسلامية Ahrār ash-Shām, meaning "Islamic Movement of the Free Men of the Levant") is a coalition of Islamist and Salafist units which formed into a brigade during the Syrian Civil War in order to fight against the Ba'athist government lead by Bashar al-Assad.[7] Ahrar ash-Sham is led by Hassan Aboud.[1] As of July 2013, it has 10,000 to 20,000 fighters, making it the most powerful unit fighting against al-Assad.[1] It was the principal organisation operating under the umbrella of the Syrian Islamic Front[1] and is a major component of the Islamic Front."
Wikipedia: Ahrar ash-Sham"We were in a camp in the northern city of Idlib for the widows and children of fallen fighters.
The camp is run by the Islamic Front, one of the biggest rebel groups.
..
The Islamic Front are a fearsome bunch, with long beards and wild hair, and combat vests stuffed with ammunition. They surrounded him as he talked to me below a flag displaying the beautiful, cursive script of the Shahada, the Islamic declaration of faith.
Driving across northern Syria, the black flag with the Shahada fluttered over rebel checkpoints everywhere. Approaching each one, there was a moment of doubt.
You could not tell until you were very close which variation of the flag you were seeing. Did it belong to the Islamic Front, or to al-Qaeda's offshoot, the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS)?
Western governments face a similar puzzle in trying to decide who's who in a crowded field of Islamist groups fighting among themselves and against the regime.
..
The "secular" armed opposition in Syria - if it ever truly existed - has now dwindled to almost nothing. If Western governments want to affect events here, they may have to do business with the Islamic Front and groups like it.
