Nozzi, you write:
>>…. Quran 36:17 (Yusuf Ali), "And our duty is only to proclaim the clear Message."<<
Verses like the one above were all revealed in Mecca when Muhammad did not have armed men under his command. Read Sura Al Tawba to get a taste of the kinds of verses that were revealed in Median to abrogate the tolerant verses of Mecca.
