hmmm. good point.
lets look at the current situation in the middle east. during the 2000 intifada, when palestinians were at odds with the military supremacy of israel, they resulted in pernicious suicide tactics. their conviction legitimized their deaths as being an act of martyrdom. and by doing so, gain them direct entry into paradise.
religious conviction is truly a powerful factor.
i should also make reference to the christian crusades during the medieval ages.
