In OTL the Jews got full citizenship in France in the French Revolution. So what if the 3rd Republic get inspired by the 1st, and extend the franchise to the Muslims living in Algeria.
 
Wouldn't change much since your average Algerian would dislike French with an equal passion.
One more example would be Hapsburg Monarchy in 1868 that became dual monarchy of Austro-Hungary. Hungarians got the "full citizenship" and became the masters of their half of the empire but they still had a strong dislike for Vienna and didn't feel particularly loyal to them.

Following WWII it might lead to increased Algerian immigration to mainland France, due to the higher living standard there. This will again have the effect, og producing a larger Muslim minority in France, which then again might have some political consequences, on both left and right side of the French political spectrum.

Muslim could become French Citizens, but few did, as it required them to obey the french civil law instead of the islamic civil law, wich was seen as an apostasy. If you want more algerian to try to get the citizenship, you need to get a change of mentality of the algerian (and of the french as i think they would change the law if too much muslims tried to become French citizens).
