text: Suicide is a great sin in Islam and "suicide bombers" are not in any way real muslims, they are only muslim by name. I don't know where they got the impression that killing themselves would take them to heaven because that is SO untrue. The word "jihad" has nothing to do with holy war. It basicaly means to fight for your rights as a muslim. Example, many muslim women are experiencing difficulty wearing the veil these days, so for a woman to go out wearing the veil anyways in like "jihad." She is strong in her beliefs and is doing something that in no way harms anyone else. I hope this helps.
