lionrock, i dont think you came across as douchbaggy at all.
to answer your questions -
taqiyya - this does not relate specifically to lying to non-muslims like you refer. what it does refers to is a state of fear. for example, during war where one is permitted to lie to save their life.
how many people do you know or heard of that have been killed for converting to another religion? none that i know of or heard of. in fact in order for anyone to lawfully take a life under shariah law, you need a caliphate which does not exist, therefore no islamic injuctions relating to hadd punishments can be carried out. anyone who does is carrying this out outside of the conditions of shariah law. therefore this cannot be enforced especially under a different system of government.
with regards to pictures of prophet Muhammed, there have been many pictures depicting him in persian art. None of these have been destroyed by muslims. one reason is because they dont attack the prophet, even though they are considered 'sin' to depict him. with regards to death threats for criticising the religion, refer to point 2. One thing ive said time and time again is that if the religion is not extended, it doesnt move forward.
