Allah did not/does not force anybody to believe him and the Last Judgment Day and it is up to non-muslims to decide their own choice. However, if they choose to remain as pagans, they would certainly perish during the last judgment day.
You have to bear in mind that you are buddhist. Would you like someone to restrict your freedom? Certainly you would not! What if Allah forces you to believe in him and the Last Judgment Day, you might rebel against him. As Allah is the most merciful, he demands your repentance and he is merciful to wait patiently that any of his muslim fellows could reach out to you for your repentance.
