No, you see, you aren't in a position necessarily to demand proof as of yet. I provided the links earlier with Savich. You don't have the credibility to downplay links, but you do have to provide refuting evidence.

Savich? Whose hyperinflated numbers would mean that every Musim male age from the Caucasus between the ages of 1 and 111 was enlisted in the German Army? You might as well cite the tooth fairy.

Just a warning - he considers that burden beneath him. A few weeks ago he was ranting about how hundreds of thousands of muslims allegedly fought for the Allies as French colonial troops. I asked him repeatedly for sources, numbers, and unit names. After dancing around it he finally gave me a link to an unsourced opinion article on the website www.africultures.com. I looked into it and it turns out africultures.com is a Marxist afrocentric website that publishes articles about slavery reparations and freeing Mumia. So naturally I questioned its credibility, which prompted him to accuse me of racism.

BTW - on the French colonial troops - I researched that as well. Most of the West African muslims were forced conscripts rounded up in the early days of the war by the colonial press gang, and most of these were not even mobilized by the time France surrendered in 1940. Meanwhile, most of the French colonials that actually did the fighting were from non-muslim colonies to the south and Madagascar. Most of the West African french colonies were under the control of the Vichy regime...and yes, they supplied Muslim soldiers to Hitler under the Legion des Volontaires Francais that was later incorporated into the Charlemagne Division of the SS, which defended against the final seige of Berlin.
