They constituted a plurality in the FFL, which was, need I remind you, a "victor" in the war. Your "Mufti of Jerusalem" operated a single anti-Semite, albeit one who enjoyed the considerable backing of the anti-Semetic German state.
No you haven't. You've named ten thousand soldiers in a minor ally colonial force on the war's periphery who also happened to be muslims. I've named the highest ranking muslim CLERIC in the holy land at that time.
Tens of thousands. I'll attribute that slip to a shaky hand and not shaky ethics.
And how many divisions did the Mufti have?
They were fighting because nazism was expanding onto their turf.
Which was why everyone was fighting. Fighting the expanding Nazi threat. However, there were no Nazis in Côte d'Ivoire.
Though they fought admirably when the fascist crowd moved into their neighborhoods,
Please tell me when Nazi troops were goosestepping through N'Djamena.
very few muslims ever landed at Normandy or marched on Berlin.
No, they came up the Italian peninsula and crossed into France.
Hitler, Mussolini, and their allies had sights on the French African colonies, so their residents responded.
Inasmuch as they had their sites on the whole world, yes.
No he wasn't. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was the highest ranking Islamic authority in the holy land at the time. Husseini had hundreds of clerics under him who followed his pro-Nazi allegiances.
So he was ranked highly among well-organized anti-Semites.
When Husseini was in Europe running around with Himmler he made a trip to the Balkans where he organized the 13th Waffen-Schutzstaffel, a division consisting of over 20,000 Muslim Nazis.
The 20,000 Muslim troops he helped recruit still pale in comparison to the tens of thousands of Muslim troops in the FFL.
And that could mean anything from 20,000 to 99,999. That's a broad range, and suggests that somebody is playing fast and loose with the numbers to disguise a less flattering yet more specific number.
In fact, some quick research online reveals that the main sub-saharan FFL unit contained about 15,000 troops, not all of which were muslim. Perhaps there were others elsewhere, but barring more specific numbers I'll remain in doubt of your intentions. And how many divisions did the Mufti have?
I already told you. He had at least one that he directly raised - A Waffen-SS unit fighting in the middle of Europe and composed of over 20,000 muslims from the Balkans. Their uniform badge consisted of a crescent-shaped islamic sword and a swastika on black.
I suppose you could also count troops that were loyal to Husseini, in which case there were a bunch of Iraqis under the government of the pro-Nazi PM of Iraq, Rashid Ali al-Kaylani. When the Brits retook Iraq in 1941 they captured or killed about 10,000 of al-Kaylani's troops, which means he had many more than that in his army...so let's say "tens of thousands."
No, they came up the Italian peninsula and crossed into France.
Numbers please.
Inasmuch as they had their sites on the whole world, yes.
No. It was a little more direct than that. Or did you forget about Rommel's Romp through North Africa, Mussolini's Abyssinian and Somali campaigns, and even a joint Vichy-Japanese stand on Madagascar in 1942.
The 20,000 Muslim troops he helped recruit still pale in comparison to the tens of thousands of Muslim troops in the FFL.
You're gonna have to do better than "tens of thousands" in substantiating your numbers if you wish to make that comparison. I'd also contend that a handful of colonial troops fighting on the war's periphery in Africa is far less significant to the war than a Waffen-SS division fighting smack in the middle of Europe.
