If the disciples knew that Jesus had not been raised then why would they die? They were done and afraid after the death of Jesus. No one excepted Him to come back to life even though He told them that he would.

They didn't have to know it to true; they simply needed to believe it. You acknowledged that yourself with the September 11 hijackers. I think the person who wrote the first part of your post needs a chat with the one who wrote the second half and collaborate on a consistent opinion.

There is also a difference from having control over your own death and allowing someone else to murder you. If there is even the slightest doubt about wither Jesus rose from the dead they would have acknowledged that. There were 11 disciples and they were all willing to die and 10 were martyred. If they didn't know for a fact that he had rose from the dead I find it hard to believe that all of them would have been willing to endure what they did. At the very least one would have belled out
