    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.
