It is a bigger sin for an observant Jew to starve himself to death than to eat non-kosher food.
Since Islam follows the same dietary laws as the Jews, I would think this principle of life is the apex of their commandments as well.
However, if a Jew is being forced to bow before an idol, it is his responsibility to kill himself, if possible, so as not to do that act.
