Would you become a Muslim?

I'd act like a Muslim long enough to get away, but I could never actually believe it.

Sure, what the heck. I would at least pretend, I'm sure that was what most of the people conquered by the Muslims did.
However, according to the Quran, the conquered people weren't supposed to be killed if they did not convert. They were only supposed to pay a special extra tax. So, most of them actually probably pretended to convert to get a tax reduction.
It wouldn't really be that hard any way. Just some bowing and no beer. I guess the Hajj would also give me a good excuse to do some traveling. As it is, I'll probably never see Europe or the Middle East, but if I had to go to Mecca, I would at least get to see some interesting places along the way.

Not at all.
I once denied Jesus when under extreme duress when I was kidnapped for my faith, and I will NEVER do that to my Lord ever again!
By God's grace, I would remain faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ who delivered me from a lifestyle of drugs, cigarettes, booze, et cetera!
And I'm not alone in this. Read "Fox's Book of Martyrs" for more.

Islam is a good religion and teaches lots of good things. I would take the good out of islam rather than become a muslim.

If I did, it would only be on the surface. Rituals, going through the motions, etc. You can't be forced to believe in something.
I don't know how I'd really react unless faced with the situation.

no, I would never give up my faith in Jesus Christ just to live one more day on this earth. Because I get to spend eternity in Heaven
