As an Iranian, who is familiar with Islam I can give a explanation:
when prophet Mohammad first announced his prophecy and people in Arabian peninsula started joining him, a lot of slaves (or bonded servants) joined him.
also he would massage was about equality between poor and rich and he would speak about your worth not having anything with your wealth.
these and many other issues (they tried to silence him with riches but he refused), caused a lot of rich tribal leader to seek out their slaves to see if they are Muslim and would brutally torture them (to the death) to denounce Mohammad.
a lot of those slave would not repent and would be killed.
so Mohammad told them if you are getting tortured and dying, you can say you have denounced me and are no longer Muslim so that you can save your life. (kind like Jews in WWII Europe trying to save their life that they had to hide their identity)
that is sum of total of my life as an Iranian that I ever read anywhere hearing that you can lie as a muslim.
also fuck this POS.
