        The purpose of the present study is to analyze the effect of altruism and martyrdom discourse on the formation of national identity, within the framework of discourse analysis. The method of study is descriptive analysis and the results indicate that the political socialization of the new generation is the solution to identity crisis; and the discourse of altruism and martyrdom has provided the process of socialization with more potential to form national identity. On the other hand, as a result of otherness of this discourse, a resistance approach against the oppressors and dominators is formed. Therefore, those who feel oppressed show resistance by reflecting their identity out of martyrdom discourse and hence fight against or compete with the oppressors. Using this discourse and highlighting some structures and layers of identity coming out of that and by showing the perceived distinctions, Muslim fighters launch a sort of antagonism.
