soren,
ISLAM expresses a duality of 'position', on many, many subjects.
But moslems only ever expresses one point of view in the 'now' instant.
The point of view, which is presented 'now', expresses the point of view appropriate to the circumstances of the immediate occasion.
...i.e. whatever is more advantageous to moslems / ISLAM.
One prominent example of how ISLAM is
'a religion for all seasons', with a duality of views,
'Tolerant' ISLAM declares [to unbelievers to strong to presently subdue],
"Let there be no compulsion in religion......."
Koran 2:256
Whereas, 'devout' ISLAM declares [to all, where it is unassailably 'empowered'],
"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him;...."
Koran 3.85
Further,
Cognitive dissonance
Cognitive dissonance is a psychological term to define the condition that results whenever an individual attempts to hold two incompatible, if not contradictory, thoughts at the same time even in the face of mounting evidence to the contrary.

cognitive dissonance = = Psychology the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes.The Reality of Cognitive Dissonance among Muslim Apologists
By Syed M. Islam
".....Having mingled with several Islamists and seeking to learn from their arguments with empathy and interpersonal respect, it is my opinion that, among many of them, cognitive dissonance is a reverberating reality. My opinion is based upon first-hand evidence gathered over two years. The evidence confirms a dangerous and disturbing dig of denial among many Muslim apologists."
