First of all...I don't think that the extremists are doing Jihad.In Islam,Jihad has broader application,not only about war.Jihad is something you do for change,a good change. Even to be back to your own 'good' self is consider as Jihad. Even studying itself is consider as Jihad because by studying,you change yourself to be more knowledgeable.
About 'convert or die' issue....there is no forced in religion. Religion is deeply connected to faith. Even if you convert but your heart is not....that is not a 'true' convert. One who convert must do anything that has prescribed to him/her by God. But if he is to do 'ibadah(worship) halfheartedly, nothing good he will get from God; no bounties He'll give to him.

2- Islam states that the prophet Muhammed was asked about being in such a situation (if you're a muslim) and being asked to announce your disbelief in islam in exchange for your life, and he said that if you fear any harm you can say that you don't to save your life, as long as you still believe in it in your heart. Clearly stated "hadeeth" (reports about the prophet's sayings).

This Hadeeth is true. You can lie just to save/preserve your life. Life is considered as a trust from God.To preserve it is to preserve your faith even though to die in His way is more honorable. It's just a matter of time whether you'll got to Heaven fast or slow.
I'm a Muslim. If you ask me whether I agree to what those filthy extremists have done.......I just feel like killing them for they create islamophobia.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
