F.L.N. terror killed six times more Muslims than Europeans

Evidence

Even after Philippeville, however, it was still their fellow Muslims who bore the brunt of F.L.N. terror. Over the first two and a half years of the war 6,352 against 1,035 Europeans were estimated, as a minimum figure, to have been killed in F.L.N. attacks against civilians. During the Yugoslav partisan war of 1941 to 1945, much of Tito’s efforts was expended in combat against Mihailović’s Serb četniks, and such a simultaneous internal “civil war” is a not infrequent concomitant of revolutionary struggle against an external enemy. To the F.L.N. the Number One enemy at home was constituted by the “traitor” M.N.A. supporters of Lahouel, and the absent Messali—once again under house-arrest in France. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 421 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
