Jesus can be thought of as a martyr. The Christians glorify his death which they view as a sacrifice to save others. I have no idea if his actual intent was to die for his beliefs when he entered Jerusalem. He must have known he was taking a risk with the Romans. They didn't like anything they thought challenged their authority.

The horror of radical Islamist is that they have no problem taking out innocents along with them. Like 9/11. That's when a person crosses a line that should never be crossed. But it is a mistake to broad brush all Muslims with the radical nut cases.

Anyone who is willing to give up their life for a cause, be it an honorable cause or not, is very difficult to argue with.
