It's more like: as soon as you decide to fight, you willingly seek situations in which you might get killed by those who fight back. It's your choice. As a civilian, you try to avoid those situations.

So yes, there is a difference, and it has nothing to do with religion, but with choice.

If you decide to fight, it might be because you are fighting back.

That does not change my argument.

Just because you are accepting the risk of getting killed does not mean it is okay to kill you. That would be a ridiculous point of view.
