Ahrar al-Sham

Ahrar al-Sham (Arabic: اَهَرَاَرْ اَلْشَاْمْ) is a Sunni Islamist jihadist group based in Syria with multiple sub groups to fight against the government of Syria and fight against Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian Civil War. The group's goals is to form a Islamic state based on Sharia law. The group was originally a part of the Syrian Islamic Front from 2013-2016 but later split due to the group becoming defunct. The group has alleged ties to Jabhat Al-Nusra and Al-Qaeda. The group pledged allegiance to Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham on the 8th of November 2021 but decided to remain a seperate group from Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham to prevent Ahrar al-Sham being designated a terrorist group.

 Ideology 
The group's ideology is based off of a mix of nationalism, Salafi jihadism, and secularism. However some factions inside of Ahrar al-Sham are more secular or more Salafist depending on their views according to researcher Sam Heller. The group has issued condolences to Mullah Omar, the founder of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan after his death.
