Elst is wrong.

In case it wasn't clear:
"Death first" refers to "sooner die than dialogue with genocidal maniacs".
It does NOT mean "kill the christians before dialoguing with them".

It is used in literature. Even movies. To pick a popular (and most memorable) example, IIRC the hysterical comedy "The Princess Bride" has it too: where the swordsman hero is surrounded and asked to surrender and says "Death first". Hmmm, maybe I got the movie wrong, but the line and context are right.

It does NOT mean suicide either.
It implies defiance. A refusal to accept the other's terms, a "Fight you for it".

It's like the americanism "over my dead body".


<b>ADDED:</b>
Movie confirmed. The Princess Bride it is.
