 In Raqa, the only provincial capital in rebel hands, the Al-Nusra Front is accused of detaining dozens of men."My father has been held for a month by the Front. They think they’re Islamic… I want my father to be free," weeps a little girl in one Raqa protest, footage of which was posted online."We reject this oppressive brand of Islam… We are Muslims. You’re just fakes," a woman protester cried in another video from Raqa, demanding the release of the men held by Nusra.Activists in the city also point to the disappearance of Abdallah al-Khalil, a veteran dissident and human rights activist."Khalil was about to open up council elections to the whole of Raqa. Al-Nusra was against the idea. He disappeared the next day," an activist from Raqa told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation."Although their methods differ from the regime’s, they are just as brutal.”"As they get more powerful militarily, they do whatever it takes to stem the growth of freedom in liberated [rebel-held] areas. They want power, not democracy."\.Rahman said mainstream rebels appeared set for a new confrontation with their jihadist rivals in Idlib after ISIS demanded that all other groups surrender their weapons.Nizar, an activist from the eastern province of Deir Ezzor, said: “Time is running out for all these [jihadist] groups.”"They use violence and religion to try control us and, although people are afraid to openly express their dissent, no one wants them."
