More dishonesty from you.
You suggested, without evidence, that the French concentrated recruitment efforts among muslims. I had previously pointed out that the strongest colonial french support by far came out of the non-Vichy sub-saharan colonies: chad, gabon, cameroon, middle congo, and ubangu-chari. I had also pointed out that only one of those colonies - chad - had a substantial muslim population (50%). Of the others, two were 15% and two were 1%, among them gabon.
Given those statistics, even concentrated intentional muslim recruitment in four out of five of those colonies would still produce a small minority of the troops raised there...which is a far cry from the vague and unspecific numbers originally suggested by you, when you attemtped to claim nearly all French african colonial forces for islam.
I raised the possibility that the French concentrated their recruitment efforts in Muslims communities.

You suggested that, but without evidence.
Furthermore, all colonies were "non-Vichy" after 1942.

That makes no sense. If the French recruited mostly Muslims, then the majority of the troops would be Muslim.

I said that Muslims constituted a plurality among religious groups in the FFL's African army.
