The religious structure of Islam is not designed to promote terrorism. Contrary to what is espoused in the question most Muslims behave indistinguishably from Non-Muslims on most key life-issues, such as work relationships, education, sports affiliations, socializing, etc.
That being said, the doctrines of Islam, particularly the holy Islamic struggle of Jihad, make Islam much more malleable to supporting terrorism and violence against civilians than most other religions. (This is not to say that Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. cannot be molded this way (and each has been), but it takes more doctrinal meddling.) Islam also is not a unity which allows Muslim terrorist organizations tell their membership that the fight in which they are engaged is properly guided and anyone who opposes them is not properly guided.

How do Muslims believe in peace?
Muslims are those who love peace. It is only when there is a need to attack the enemy do they fight. The terror groups who claim to fight in the name of Islam are actually not Muslims, despite their claim to be. The Islamic terrorists actually believe in Fundamental Islam, which is massively different to traditional Islam. Bear in mind that terrorists exist in every single religion, no matter how hard the media try to always blame Muslims. Fundamental Islam is a false and propaganda religion where the leaders claim the followers need to fight against other religions and sacrifice themselves in order to gain access to the afterlife. Traditional Islam is the true Islamic way which believes in peace and charity. They believe in the ways of peace and love and they believe in charity. An act of charity in Islam is known as 'Zakah'. This act of zakah is obligatory to all those who follow the faith. A true Muslim is expected to help those who need it through an act of zakah, whether it be donating money to a homeless person, helping a disabled lady cross the road, sheltering a family from a storm and so on. True traditional Muslims are indeed very peaceful and loving people.
