@Dreammmer: Embracing Islam requires uttering the two testifications of faith, the confession as you called it, along with the proper belief. Without the right belief you do NOT become a Muslim even if you confess thousands of times.
Among the proper belief is to believe that killing innocent people, whether men, women and / or children is unlawful is Islam. Killing one's self is also unlawful in Islam even if you do it for a good reason like defending Islam. This is mentioned clearly in the Quran and Authentic Hadith (the sayings of the Prophet).
Hence, If anyone believes that these actions are rewardable in Islam or even just lawful or allowed, he or she becomes a non Muslim.
Therefore, those terrorists who are committing these actions are NOT Muslims.. they do it in the name of Islam but they have nothing to do with Islam.
I am not denying anybody's right to be a Muslim. I am just saying that they are NOT because of the wrong beliefs that they have which are against the teachings of Quran and Hadith.
Besides, Muslims around the world are almost 2 billions nowadays, while the number of those terrorists who fight in the name of Islam does not exceed tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousands. So, they do not represent the other 2 billions as they do not represent Islam
