Interested in the answers if torture were involved

I don't see how the answer would change. ISIS doesn't get its brand recognition because they let people go. They want to instill fear. If they torture you, they are going to kill you. It's just what they do. They can't be reasoned with. If you renounce your faith, it only proves to them that you are an infidel who belongs to a false faith and that you are worthy of being killed.

Now, back to my first answer. My only reservation and concern is that I wouldn't renounce my faith BECAUSE I know I'm going to die, not because I truly put my God first. That's a problem for me. I want to be true, not to give the safest answer. It reminds me of Blaise Pascal's "The Gamble".
