I find it hard to believe that Islamists are hard to identify, especially when all their charters share a centerpiece.
I see nothing about them being "former Al-Nusra people".
I can't find those words specifically in English. You should look into them, they are hardline Salafis who turned it down in order to attract more people with sketchy unIslamic past to confront Al Nusra. After their defeat quite a few of them turned over to Al Nusra now as well. Just a bunch of disgruntled rebel officials switching allegiances nothing to see here.

In any case, they don't matter because they've pretty much disbanded. This is old news, so no moderates in Syria this is the point.
