then why do Muslims call Christians "Infidels"?
AND
Is it true that Muslims have the right to martyr people if it's for religious means?

Infidels mean 1. person who does not have a religion, 2. person whose religion is different from that of the speaker. Christ and Muslim believe on Jesus (Isa) but have their own perception on what their believe on him. When Muslim said Christ is infidels, they mean other person whose religion is different from Muslim.
For religious means-if they marry for escape them from sin (like adultery) or want to help that women from suffering.

HMM
I see we have some clearing up to do ^^
1.The word infidel is not mentioned anywhere in the quran in Arabic. I know cause I speak Arabic.
The word used to represent those who will be punished for all eternity in hell fire is Kuffaar: this word means 'those who reject faith' ..not 'disbelievers' contrary to what most people think.
2. Muslims who call Christians infidels dont know crap about the Quran cause the Quran says they are People of the Book who have been sent God sent message (Gospel)
3. Muslims are given the right to defend themselves when they have been oppressed by those who do not believe in One God. Therefore they are ordered to fight for the cause of God in face of oppression agaisnt them or the members of their faith, because people back in the day were oppressed by the strongest tribes of Arabia, and people rather stayed in their homes and were too cowardly to fight when people were being oppressed and killed and hunted down cause they believed in One God.
Peace

Muslims do not believe Jesus was the Messiah; they merely believe that he was a prophet.

-Quran didn't really point at christians as infidels. but Quran says fight those who are fighting you without being transgressors.
[190] And fight in the Way of Allâh those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly, Allâh likes not the transgressors.
Quran 2:190
-and give peace to those who give peace to you
[61] But if they incline to peace, you also incline to it, and (put your) trust in Allâh. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.
Quran 8:61
-be kind toward those non-muslims who did not fight your for religion, neither kick you out of ur homes
[8] Allâh does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allâh loves those who deal with equity.
Quran 60:8

Christians and Messianic Jews believe Jesus is the Messiah.
Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet.

Muslims can say they believe anything as long as it helps Islam. Its called "al takeyya". This means that Muslims are encouraged to lie if helps them or Islam.
This is the main reason rational thinking people can not understand the Muslim. Their religion teaches them to lie in order to win. You can not trust a Muslim.
