I hope the academic investigation can include suicide bombers. :)
My understanding:
Suicide bombers are terrorists who attach explosives to themselves, and, consequently, die along with their victims in a bombing attack.
Japanese kamikaze pilots in WWII, terrorists in 911, »Æ¼Ì¹â¡¢¶´æÈð are all suicide bombers. Patriots act on the loves, and belief to support and defend their's country, but when two countries are at war, there can be patriots on both sides, from each side's point of view.
Martyr (ѳµÀÊ¿) is different. A martyr does not usually engage in an act of violence, terror, and intimidation to withhold or/and advance a belief, cause, or principle. He/she does not kill himself/herself along with others but is killed or suffered for his/her religion or beliefs.
