What do you mean by "militant" Christianity? Going into all the world to preach the gospel is not inherently "militant", nor does it inherently cause cultural misunderstandings.
Your own OP quotes:
... the disciples knew that life without the resurrection is no life at all, so they all gave their lives to the fact that the Savior came back from the dead.
My point was that those disciples might have been killed for smiling at another man's wife, or for not taking off their shoes in a temple, or for wearing the wrong gang colours. It might not have had anything to do with Christianity at all, "militant" or otherwise.
Why does your source assume that a violent death is related to the victim's beliefs? Maybe a rich white guy will get mugged even if he doesn't believe in the resurrection.
