I'd be curious to know what were their religious convictions were before the forced conversion. What difference does that make?

Anything done at the point of a gun is coercion and should be ignored. It's terrorism nonetheless. I consider myself a very devout Christian, and I would like to think that, were I in the same situation, I'd reject their demand, thereby (very likely) risking my life. But who knows how I'd react? And if I did "go along" with it out of fear, could I look myself in the mirror from then on? I think I'd be very, very ashamed. What does one do?

Anything done at the point of a gun is coercion and should be ignored. Explain that to those who have been martyred for their faith.

They've been getting attacks for not refusing to "convert" and martyring themselves.
