Not entirely true.
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Five are regarded as martyrs: They are those who die because of plague, abdominal disease, drowning or a falling building etc., and the martyrs in Allah's Cause."
Martyrdom is not just blowing yourself up. Additionally...
You cannot take a single verse translation and twist it to mean that Quran asks for killing.
If your thoughts are considered right then what would you say about Pope Urban's Crusades, does Christianity call foe elimination of MUSLIMS. He had also used Bible for the purpose.
At some places in Quran, killing and war, Jihad is discussed for those, who persecuted Muslims for years and years, and these verses were specific for those, who come to you to kill, or have killed Muslims etc. and referring to maintain justice and just society. Since, you have not quoted the verses, I am referring in general the verse most commonly misunderstood and quoted.
When Prophet Mohammad(PBUH) conquered Mecca, he forgave all non Muslims even those who had killed his close associates and relatives, some in a barbaric fashion, Refer any history book of your choice.
Caliph Umar on the request of Jews for religious persecution liberated the present day site of Israel and did not kill a single Christian or Jew and mediated a Treaty between Christian and Jews enabling them to pray on their Holy Sites Muslims being In charge and watching that the treaty is honored.
People with limited exposure, busy life style to meet ends needs, if get an opportunity to ponder and study Islam, they will find that the way to salvation in Islam is good deeds and having abundance of them, and just like every religion, physical war or Jihad has defined meanin, rules of engagement and is only to eliminate persecution and human agony against the forces of evil and participating in that kind of war is permissible and is source of rewards and pleasure of Almighty, but to kill innocent people in Islam is the gravest sin considered unforgivable irrespective of faith. human life is considered sacred in Islam.

that has always been a cost of acquiring such rights. if humans weren't willing to sacrifice their own lives for something greater then most of the world would still be rule by kings or dictators. surely, most people would agree that the alternative (a very small percentage of the population being killed) is much better.
Kings and dictators look out for number one, and a life in poverty or servitude under those rulers isn't necessarily better than death. I would even be willing to say that if many people didn't sacrifice their lives in the wars and struggles during the 1800-1900s so the western world was substantially democractic, then our world would be significantly different (technologically, medically, etc...). Being democractic allowed capitalism to flourish, which resulted in vast technological advances. Without this political change, I suspect that a much larger percentage of the world's population would be living in poverty, and human health would be in far worse shape than it is today.
it's easy for someone in our position to say life is better than death, but that's because we don't live in despair. You always justify muslim terrorists for this same reason, but erradicating dictatorships is also a method of attacking poverty. I'm not saying we should have fought in iraq (because i was absolutely against the war), but look at the bigger picture.
