Ronin,

Where you wrote, "I think, beyond all doubt, this is NOT an oxymoron.", I believe you are exactly correct. After that statement, though, as to why that is correct, it is rare to see someone make so little sense. Almost like you're on drugs or religion or alcohol or something like that.

But, yeah, as "oxymoron" is a combination of contradictory or incongruous words, "Christian" is definitely NEITHER contradictory to, nor incongruent with "Militia". There are militias that are Christian, and there are militias that are not Christian. To say "Christian militia" is an oxymoron is analogous to saying that "kid's shoe" is an oxymoron.

For you to go on talking about particular Christians that are not in militias, and about particular militias that are Muslim, Ronin, is like going on to talk about how particular kids are not wearing shoes and about how particular shoes are adult's shoes.
Just plain weird.
