Re-read what the statement says.

1 in 4 believes that it is OK, GIVEN THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES.

"Do you personally feel that this kind of violence is often justified to defend Islam, sometimes justified, rarely justified or never justified?" So if a foreign nation came in and invaded and made Islam illegal, would you believe that it would be OK for a person, not you, to commit suicide to attack them in "defense" of your religion?

That is how I see them reading the question.

The title of the story is another distortion intended to get your attension by manipulation of context.
