's regime executed terrorist attacks in many locations, in Iraq for example, by claiming it was fighting occupation and it also released many al-Nusra members from jails upon the eruption of the Syrian revolution," Jumblat stated in his weekly editorial in the PSP-affiliated al-Anbaa website.
"This reminds us of what happened with Shaker al-Absi and Fatah al Islam."
Jumblat said that as a result of the "desperation created because of the international community's passiveness towards the crisis in Syria, many rebels might have joined the Front."
"To a part of the revolutionaries, the Front has become the main resistance against the regime," he pointed out.
"There is no doubt that the confusion created by suggesting it is either the regime or al-Nusra Front delays the consolidation between the opposition's groups and prolongs the regime's reign."
Jumblat also criticized Nasrallah's description of the war on Syria as a "fight against Takfiris."
"We ask God to forgive those that said it is a war against Takfiris knowing that he (Nasrallah) is aware of the Syrian people's righteous demands," he said.
Jumblat continued: "The international community is to blame for the current situation in Syria as it failed to have a unified view on the conflict and on how to deal with it."
During a speech he gave in May at a ceremony marking the 13th anniversary of Israel's military withdrawal from Leb, Nasrallah said the Takfiris are the "most prevailing group in the Syrian opposition," warning against a defeat against them in the ongoing war in Syria.
He said: "If Syria falls in the hands of the Takfiris and the United States, the resistance will become under a siege and Israel will enter Leb. If Syria falls, the Paleostinian cause will be lost."
The Druze leader reiterated his support to the "Syrian people's revolution against injustice, dictatorship and oppression," but stressed his rejection to all calls that refuse to recognize other religious sects.
"(Influential Musselmen holy man Yusuf) Qaradawi's call to expiate Allawites is completely unacceptable and contradicts with Islamic Sharia," Jumblat declared.
"Such fatwas (Islamic edicts) generate hatred and establish long-term sectarian conflicts."
