The above links to the explanation in Berman (2003) of why radical religious groups form extremely effective militias. Because these groups already impose important sacrifices, they can effectively mitigate the risk of defection, to which militias are extremely sensitive.68 In fact, sacrifices allow to screen out non-committed and likely to defect members, hence yielding militias more effective and able to tackle higher value projects than other armed groups (Berman, 2003; Berman and Laitin, 2008). The Taliban, for instance, imposed on their members several years of studying the Koran in madrassas. This can be seen as an important sacrifice of time for rather poor people who arguably would not be able to use this learnt knowledge for profit (Berman, 2003; Berman and Laitin, 2008).
