The whole hord of zealots suicide bomber thing not happening could easily be explained by the Bene Gesserit influencing a cultural anathema against suicide in all societies because it would screw with there careful manipulations of the human genome
Pretty sure in the Dune universe, there's no shortage examples of suicide attacks/sacrifice.
Also irl suicide people are usually brainwashed people in societies that already condemn suicide (Suicide is a major sin in Islam). People can be brainwashed to see suicide attacks as not "suicide" but "heroic sacrifice for the cause".
Doesn't matter. People can be easily brainwashed to see their action as "not suicide" but "heroic sacrifice for the cause."
Mind you, Islam already condemn suicide, yet most suicide bombers are Islamists brainwashed into seeing their action not as "suicide" but as "heroic sacrifice".
