In classic Jewish / Christian usage , a martyr dies at the hands of non-believers for his beliefs ; in Muslim usage , a martyr ( shaheed ) dies while fighting , marauding and killing to impose his beliefs on the infidels ... They used to beat the drums when a martyr died , in order to drown his testimony ; and so foolish men seek to silence the voice of conscience by letting passions shout their loudest . If martyrdom proves the truth of what a martyr dies for , then practically every religion on earth can lay claim to being the only " true " religion .
