The facts speak for themselves...and squarely against you.

Even lqclamar is now willing to admit thousands of Muslims fighting for the Allies

He has done no such thing. You are again mischaracterizing other people's posts. Conscripted colonial Muslims do not make for an allied army!

Hardly!

Dream on

it's really quite hard to say that they didn't fight for the allies when we have clear historical records of them fighting for the allies. lqclamar read the article and even though i think he's trying to fudge the numbers down, even he is willing to admit that 19,000 west african muslims fought for france against the nazis.

and i'll remind you, as i reminded him, that many honorable american g.i.s were also drafted. i hope you don't mean to suggest that they did not "make for an allied army!"

i understand that you do not like muslims -- that much is obvious -- but you need to accept reality. it reflects poorly on conservatives when you are willing to denigrate our military heroes in just to keep from praising muslims.

There's a huge difference between GI draftees who get drawn from the selective service and people grabbed at random off the street by the French colonial press gangs.
