'Martydom' in the tradional sense doesn't involve killing random people to punctuate your final act of devotion. As simplified as it sounds, the issue of killing for the Almighty versus turning the other cheek is the heart of the matter.

I can't remember any Christian martyrs who were out mass murdering.

". . . the issue of killing for the Almighty versus turning the other cheek is the heart of the matter."A good way of putting it. I hope to check into the historic meaning of "martyr" when it comes to those of Islamic faith. I certainly don't see them being put on trail for their beliefs and being asked to deny their god "or else."
