naomi - // AH, it’s not a contradiction. It’s incumbent upon all Muslims to further the cause of Islam in whichever way they are able. Whether it be battle or otherwise, the guidance is there. //
It is a contradiciton, and you denying it does not make it not so. The evidence is there, and everyone else can make up their mind.
You can convince yourself that your stance is consistent and unwavering, I can read and deduce that it clearly is not.
I expect your response to be one of your regular get-outs - you will either scoff and ridicule me, or you will ignore me - but either do not detract from you being found out as shifting your point of view as and when it suits you.
