I know enough to know that under any circumstances and acceptance then denial = death.

That is correct. In the earlier surahs (the so-called Meccan surahs), Mad Mo stated that there could be no compulsion in religion. However, this "prophet" had a convenient "revelation" after he had ensconced himself in Medina as an Oriental potentate that all previous surahs had been abrogated under the principle of mansukh. It is the duty of all Muslims to make converts by any means whatever. This is the essence of jihad. Thus, whether or not you are forced to repeat the shahada under the point of a gun makes no difference. You are considered a Muslim and to renounce even a forced conversion to Islam is an offence punishable by death according to sharia.
