      I checked this dude out on notoriously Western aligned wikipedia and even they're admitting that he spent six years working for ISIS along with his al-Nusra and al-Qaeda "service."

      The YouTube comments are all "oh finally a good moderate leader who will bring peace and democracy to Syria." Disgusting.
