Christian martyrs are not like others, in that what they witness to is different than those who die of other religions.
Christians witness to the death, resurrection and salvation through Jesus Christ. That is what we Christians mean by a martyr.
We do not mean some vague hope or blind faith in the vaunted goodness of humanity. In fact, we Christians go so far as to say that anyone who witnesses to something against Christ or some salvation separate from Him are false witnesses. That definitely includes Islam - all of it.

"In fact, we Christians go so far as to say that anyone who witnesses to something against Christ or some salvation separate from Him are false witnesses. That definitely includes Islam - all of it." I agree. And this is why there really is no such thing as "moderate Islam". "Moderate Islam" are the Mohammedans who view an overt attack on the West as too dangerous to their existence, for the moment.
