Buzz in the first paragraph of your sum you state: "I would say that there was a martyr syndrome among some early Christians, one that was wrapped up in the trappings of mysticism and magic. Being a martyr was glorified, and those who died were not only the source of visions and miracles, they were bound to be remembered and revered forever for the acts."
Is it not surprising similar to the martyr syndrome of the early Christians, The Islamic State, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), has a martyr syndrome as well. Also, being a martyr is glorified. However, before they die a martyr and get their glory they want to bring thousands to death first.
