Yes, but that is caused by their own lack of understanding that the Quran is not telling them to kill non-believers whenever they want to. If that was true, then I wouldn't believe in the Quran either. But that is not true because intentionally killing ourselves and others with a bomb is not Jihad nor will it gain us the status of a martyr. It is only a suicide.
Now, I should tell you two of the reasons on why suicide bombing is against the Quran, which are:
1. The Quran clearly forbids us to fight, kill, nor even harm the non-combatants:
"Thus, if they let you be, and do not make war on you, and offer you peace, Allah does not allow you to harm them." (Surah 4:90)
But then all they have to do is get it into their heads that they are being attacked or mistreated by anyone or any country then the book you worship gives them full authority to go jihad on their ass.
This is why your book, and all religious books, are so fucking dangerous and I fail to see how you can believe a book that is so easily manipulated by whoever wants to is in fact the word of an omnipotent god. Surely there would be no room for misinterpretation of the words that came from a god unless he wanted us to fight and kill each other because he would have known different people would take different views on what ever he said, especially when you take into account contradictory and confusing versus.
