YES. While the Free Syrian Army (FSA) is a loose coalition of different former military and militant contingents that suffers from a large degree of disagreement between them, it certainly does exist. The place where the Free Syrian Army is most visible is in Aleppo and the surrounding area. Detractors of the FSA argue that the FSA is exclusively Jubhat an-Nusra (جبهة النصرة) – a Jihadist organization not that different from Islamic State – or if not exclusively Jubhat an-Nusra to be inordinately influenced by them. While it is the case that Jubhat an-Nusra is the largest militant group not affiliated with the Assad Regime Military or the Islamic State, they are a minority within the FSA and many of the smaller groups affiliated with the FSA do not share the same future-vision as Jubhat an-Nusra.

What is Free Syrian Army's motto?
The motto of Fatah is 'The winds cannot shake the mountain Ya Jabal Mayhezak Reeh'.
When was Syrian Army created?
Syrian Army was created on 1946-08-10.
If the Free Syrian Army started recruiting foreigners the same way that the French Foreign Legion does would it have the manpower that it would need to win the Syrian Civil War?
That could work, from strictly a manpower perspective, but most foreign recruits would be untrained and poorly equipped. Additionally, each foreign recruit undermines the legitimacy of the Free Syrian Army as a Syrian Army. As a result, it is not a likely policy to be embraced.
How are Arab Spring Syrian Civil War and ISIS Islamic State in Iraq and Syria connected?
ISIL is a combatant in the Syrian Civil War, and likely the strongest of the four major entrants (Assad Regime, ISIL, YPG - Syrian Kurds, and FSA - Free Syrian Army).
What will happen when the Free Syrian Army ousts Assad tries his crimes against humanity destroys ISIS and forces the Russians Chinese and Iranians to fully withdraw?
Even assuming that this inordinately unlikely scenario comes to pass, there is no way to know how the Free Syrian Army would establish a political system. There is no coherent political philosophy coming from the Free Syrian Army as to what kind of government they want. Some members of the army argue for a Secular Eepublic and others (who are more powerful) argue for an authoritarian Islamist theocracy and there are many views in between.
Is it dangerous to have a ceasefire with Daesh and What is the point?
There is no ceasefire with Islamic State (Daesh - داعش). The ceasefire is between the Assad Regime and the Russian bombing raids that have supported them on the one hand and the elements of the Free Syrian Army (al-Jaysh as-Suri al-Horr - الجيش السوري الحر) on the other. The conflation here is that the Free Syrian Army is often called "terrorists" by the Assad Regime and those who support the Assad Regime, which makes it easy to confuse the Free Syrian Army with the Assad Regime.The reason that the ceasefire between the Assad Regime and their Russian air support and the Free Syrian Army is that the rapid advance of Assad's forces into Free Syrian Army-controlled territory has led to numerous injuries and people fleeing the violence without medical care. The ceasefire will give the innocent civilians a chance to get to safer areas and medical areas.A ceasefire with Islamic State would be unreasonable.
Is the Syrian regime democratic?
NO. All of the various governments in Syria at the moment are non-democratic. The Assad Regime was an authoritarian republic, Islamic State is a theocratic dictatorship, the Syrian Kurds are a military junta, and the Free Syrian Army is also a military junta.
If Donald Trump becomes POTUS will he increase aid arms and even restart training the Free Syrian Army again or will he cut it all off and leave the FSA to wither away until they disappear forever?
While Trump has offered no real specifics on his plans (quite intentionally since he really has none), he has made it clear that he disagrees with the President's policy of supporting the Free Syrian Army and is more amenable to Russia's view that Assad remain in power. As a result, it is likely that he will allow Bashar al-Assad to remain in power along a deal structure with Russia and he will let the Free Syrian Army get defeated.

Why have Libya Egypt Jordan and the United Arab Emirates ceased all attempts to supply arms to the Syrian Opposition?
