Talk:Oultrejordain

Weird claims
"There were very few Christians in Oultrejordain, most of the inhabitants being Shia Bedouin nomads. Many of the Syrian Christians who lived there were transplanted to Jerusalem in 1115 to fill up the former Jewish quarter (the Jews had been either killed or expelled). The other Christians who lived in Oultrejordain were nomadic or semi-nomadic and were often distrusted by the Crusaders."
 * I am unaware of any "Shia bedouin" populations that lived in Transjordan. "very few Christians.." is vague and "the other Christians.." is vague too. Where are even the sources used here?? Makeandtoss (talk) 13:46, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

claims about transjordan
The claims in the article to the effect that the area was called "transjordan" historically before the last century are not sourced or well supported in the article. The claim seems to rest on the translation of a phrase from Latin into English, but the Latin phrase is never even presented. 184.21.142.22 (talk) 01:08, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
