It seems to me that the distinction between Christian martyrs and Islamist martyrs is that the former is nonviolent and passive in achieving death and the latter is violent and active in achieving death. So we have active vs. passive martyrs and violent vs. non-violent martyrs. Still, they all seem textbook martyrs to me. They obtain salvation by dying for their religion.

A very major distinction is shahid's die trying to murder others and Christian martyrs aren't trying to kill anyone.

Also Christian martyrs don't obtain salvation by dying.
