 Sorry no.  Islam (to which I'm assuming you are referring) does not teach people to blow-up airplanes.  Just as the Bible did not tell medieval Christians to torture Jews to death in order to convert them.  Religions are not "bad" or "good"; people are.  Religious belief, in itself, is not the cause of evil behavior, it only provides the excuse.
