Islam does not have a patent on the word Martyr.
Here are some definitions of the word :
1. a person who willingly suffers death rather than renounce his or her religion.
2. a person who is put to death or suffers on behalf of a cause.
3. a person who undergoes severe or constant suffering.
Shaheed is an Arabic Word referred to those who during their services to Islam or Islamic Country die in the duty.
and Shaheed is translated in English as Martyr. I was referring to this.
