Other than DIE fighting "Infidels", how do Muslims get their sins forgiven so they can get into Heaven?
I have been told that the Suicide bombers, etc. feel they are too "Sinful" (drinking, etc.) to get into Heaven, so they go the "guaranteed way" of dying fighting infidels.---Is this so? SURELY there has to be a way for a Muslim to have his/her sins forgiven without taking such drastic measures.
I don't want some Christian's uneducated answer----I am wondering what provisions are made in "normal" Islam to get forgiveness for sins. Like if one has a drink or has an affair, etc. here HAS to be a way to "get right with God---as Christians have "Confession". I am sure there is something in Islam Less drastic than blowing up airports.---Isn't there?

They can also kill fighting infidels. Qur'an 9:111 --
"Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain. It is a promise which is binding on Him".

If their pretend god, allah, takes a liking to them (on a whim), then they get to go to their pretend heaven with their 70 virgins. Of course, that excludes all women, since the only women in heaven are sex slaves!
