Other than DIE fighting "Infidels", how do Muslims get their sins forgiven so they can get into Heaven?

Update:

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.

Update 2:

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!

    There is no salvation from sin in Islam.

    They don't do it that way. Killing others does not win us salvation.
