@IbnNabih1 What are "links"? I read the denial as denying in the narrowest terms that they're an al-Qaeda affiliate.0 retweets 1 like -

@IbnNabih1 But Ahrar's the second half of Jeish al-Fath, it's not like Ahrar's has no ties to al-Qaeda's Syrian branch.1 retweet 0 likes -

@IbnNabih1 And there are ideological differences between Ahrar and AQ, so yes, Ahrar doesn't espouse AQ ideology per se.2 retweets 2 likes -

@IbnNabih1 But there are points of commonality, and Ahrar certainly seems like it has a certain kind of jihadist intellectual pedigree.2 retweets 2 likes
@AbuJamajem They're post Salafi Jihadi, so it shows. But I can find commonality between JN & other groups as well. Depends how picky one is.
