    You can get martyrs and madmen from all sides, religious fundamentalists or not.

      I’m not sure non-fundamentalists actually desire martyrdom, religious or otherwise. Secular armies at least fear death.

        I think you’d be surprised by a deep dive through history. Plenty of secularists have been willing and even eager to trade their lives for justice.

          Historically, of course. Modern day, less.

          I get the international support for wars on terror though. Makes sense.
