8 Scholars have signed a fatwa urging Muslims to support the Free Syrian Army.

Answer

The fatwa signed by "108 scholars" is an American 'fatwa'. These very same 'scholars' will not issue a fatwa exhorting Muslims to support the Talibaan, As-Shabaab, the Mujaahideen in Yemen and Chechnya. But because America desperately wants a regime change in Syria to serve its and Israel's interests, the corrupt fatwa has quickly been put together via Saudi agency. The 'fatwa' is another example of boot-licking by 'scholars' who sell Islam and the Ummah down the drain for a monetary pittance.
