You're also playing fast and loose with the numbers. In your post #200 you said that Cameroon's Muslim population "is in the 15% range" -- a phrase that you don't use in any other citations from the CIA Factbook. Why is that? Well, perhaps it's because the CIA Factbook doesn't give those numbers it puts the number of Cameroonian Muslims at 20% of the total population. You've got some 'splainin to do.

Not really. My copy (1995 ed) lists Cameroon's muslim population at 15.8%. Are you saying in a more recent edition that they've grown to 20%? If so, fine by me. Use 20% for all I care, which also demonstrates my previous point about muslim populations in those countries growing right now, meaning they were likely LOWER during WWII. Of course the point is that Cameroon is nowhere even remotely near a muslim-majority nation, and thus would not have supplied predominantly muslim toops to the FFL.

You've given too points in history. It takes three points to define a line. You're overstepping again.

Of course the point is that Cameroon is nowhere even remotely near a muslim-majority nation, and thus would not have supplied predominantly muslim toops to the FFL.

Of course, you're operating under the assumption that military recruitment in African colonies is perfectly representative of the population as a whole. That assumption is a faulty one.
