Religion is whatever anyone wants it to be and the shit that passes for holy "scripture" is most commonly poorly-written enough to be made to agree with them.
Justification for actions like terrorism and other brutal crimes (like stoning and killing of gays) is always a syndrome that accompanies the same people that use a certain method to dodge the verses: joining the Hadith books with the Quran. That's how they reach the "other conclusions" you mentioned.
The only way to reach the other conclusion, is to use the Hadith.
Bin Laden is a Sunni : he believes in Hadith.
Khomeini is a Shiite : he believes in Hadith.
The Sauds are Sunnies: they believe in Hadith.
Hezbollah is Shiite: they believe in Hadith.
The list goes on. All terrorists are either Sunni or Shiite.
The Hadith gives you the chance to recite a verse like the above; then say "BUT; the Hadith also said that infedels should be killed; even if peaceful".
With the Quran; it's the blue part only: there is no "BUT".
There is no red part.
