At one place Islam Q&A (2002) mentions Islam can be forced upon pagans:
> The scholars explained that ... they are not to be forced, rather they are to be given the choice between becoming Muslim or paying the jizyah.
>
> Other scholars said that this applied in the beginning, but was subsequently abrogated by Allaah’s command to fight and wage jihad. ... **The kuffaar should be compelled to enter Islam** if they are not people from whom the jizyah may be taken, because that will lead to their happiness and salvation in this world and in the Hereafter. Obliging a person to adhere to the truth in which is guidance and happiness is better for him than falsehood.
In another place, Islam Q&A (2009) mentions seven conditions for testimony of faith:
1. knowledge,
2. certainty,
3. acceptance and submission,
4. following that which is indicated,
5. truthfulness,
6. sincerity, and
7. love for this word and for what it implies and indicates.
When a pagan is forced to Islam, he's not satisfying the seven criteria mentioned in immediate above link. Aren't these two verdicts contradictory?
