Is there a difference between bravery and fanaticism,and if yes,which do you think it is?

yes, bravery is that you know or are almost certain of an outcome but you try anyways(the outcome has to be fairly bad for you too.)

say, a single man's friends/family is about to be attacked by a band of say, 20 robbers with swords/guns/knives and he, to try to save them picks up just a knive/sword/bare hans(or something where he would have a disadvantage) attacks the robbers to try to either drive them off or buy his friends/family enough time to give to get away.

fanaticism could just be those same robbers thinking that they are justified in killing all those people because of "sins" or the like

A fanatic can be brave and a fanatic can be a coward.

A brave man can be a fanatic and a brave man can be a moderate.

Bravery and fanaticism are totally disconnected and independent of each other, like being good and believing in God.

There is difference beteen brave and fanaticism.

I agree with the members  above .

In Iraq there are brave men against fanaticism now the fanaticism are the terrorists and the brave are the Iraqi people
