"Moderate and conservative Islamists"... "moderate... Islamist"... lol who wrote this, the CIA? XD

ONLY Southern rebels are opposed to Al-Nusra

The article should specify that only the southern rebels (which are a very small faction) are opposed to Al-Nusra. Northern rebels are staunchly pro Al-Nusra and coordinate with them. "Some factions" is a thereby a very imprecise term, since the southern rebels numbers are very small in comparison with the ones from the north. The northern factions cited in the article only nominally condemn al-nusra, while in practice they militarily coordinate with them. Idlib was taken by al-nusra coordinating with these northern factions cited in the article!

Kharijites

Nusra can not be of Kharijites, since it fights them. See ref. http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/01/09/who-are-the-kharijites-and-what-do-they-have-to-do-with-isis
