The fact is that the vast majority of muslims generaly like being ruled by other muslims.

So what? That's true ever where. That's meaningless. A better question is: How do non-Muslims fare under Muslim rule?
For a group that always claims to be oppressed, they sure are brutal to the minorities in their midst.
Well, heck you DO have three choices I guess- convert, accept 2nd class citizenship....

The cases of "or die" that I am familar with are (where there was this threat not in the context of a war):
1. The treatment of the Sephardim at the hands of the Christians in Spain.
2. The treatment of the Jews by the Germans
3. The treatement of the Christians at the hands of the Godless soviets.
As far as I know there have not been systematic, statewide exterminations based on religion by Muslims -- other than in the context of a war. Yes non-muslims in muslim states have had to pay for the protection to carry on practicing their faiths. But an -- or die -- threat by a government???
