Let me ask you a question:
During the aftermath of the Waco siege, did you spend even five seconds contemplating whether or not David Koresh was truly who he said he was? After all, he and his followers were all willing to die for their beliefs. Or did you dismiss them as crazy cultists?
When the news of the Heaven's Gate cult broke, where they all committed suicide, did you even pause to consider whether or not they really believed they were going to fly on the comet to Heaven? After all, they were willing to die for their beliefs. Or did you just think how nuts they were and go on with your life?
What was your reaction when you heard about Jim Jones in history class? Did their willingness to die for their beliefs give you any reason to consider them as anything more than a tragic cult?
When you understand how their willingness to die for their beliefs fails to impress you, you understand how your "would they die for a lie" argument fails to impress us.

Another question:
Do you spend even a split second worrying about what will happen if you face Muhammad and Allah on judgment day? The possibility hasn't even entered your mind, has it? And yet, it's no less possible than your scenario, or a million other afterlife speculations.
When you understand how the Muslim Hell isn't real to you, you understand why your hell isn't real to me.
