Talk:Sham Legion

Edit explained
Concerning the (now removed) 'moderate' label for this group - the sources used present a clear pro-US bias. This article goes on to mention the group's Salafist ideology, and mentions how other factions such as Nour-el-Deen-el-Zinki have joined, a faction which famously decapitated a 12 year old boy and filmed it. This cannot be considered 'moderate' by any reasonable person - BUT rather than labelling them as extremist, I have changed 'moderate' (a subjective term) to the more factual and objective 'non-al-Qaeda-affiliated', as this is their main distinguishing feature from other anti-government groups currently in operation in the Syrian civil war.

There are a few more sources for this, we can add them in if nessecary but if this could be added into the "part of" section that would be much appreciated. Gavv523 (talk) 21:23, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
