Answer 1

Many people believe that Islam is based on jihad. Well, jihad means personal war. For example, if someone is going around killing Muslims then they want to fight in the name of Allah ! Many people believe Islam means that we are all terrorists and Taliban; well, that's wrong. The Holy Qur'an teaches peace and love.

Answer 2

If the terrorists and other Muslims who perform acts of martyrdom were counted as percentage of total Muslims, they would be a rounding error. The overwhelming majority of Muslims (like people of any faith or grouping) are far more interested in coming home to their kids after a hard day's work than to kill or be killed.

As for those few who wish to die in the name of Islam, they do so because they believe in the promise of Paradise for those who die sanctifying the name of their religion. This is not unique to Islam, but is common in almost all faiths. Even atheist patriots may claim that they go to their death in the vague hope and dream that their fellow countrymen have the peace and tranquility on Earth that they wished for, which is merely transferring the occupancy of Paradise from the dead to the living.
