In your case you will need to cite examples from all religions to make it a statement of fact.600+ laws ontop of God's. Who blows up abortion clinics?
By the definition of RELIGION itself it's fact...Man trying to justify himself to God.
Don't even think you're going to make a case for any religion that doesn't try to justify what it does, and the extremist are in ALL religions!
Just note that "justification" does not have to equal fanaticism.

You are forgetting one big difference between those who blow up abortion clinics and the terrorists. People such as Eric Rudolph were not trying to destroy the United States and he certainly doesn't represent all Christians. All Christians, Jews, Buddhists etc... do not have a precept in their religion to destroy peole of other faiths as evidenced by the fact they are not trying to destroy whole societies. The terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/01 and those who attacked London want to destroy the United States and all Americans. Islam does want to convert or destroy all non-muslims as stated in the following article:
Islamic Scholar Warns U.S. of 'Two-Faced' Muslims
You still haven't cited specific examples of other religions who have a precept to convert and or destroy people of other religions and countries.

Who blows up abortion clinics?
People who are willing to use violence as part of civil disobedience to a practice they consider to be murder of innocents.
Now, who blows up or slits the throats of Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and even Shiites in their places of worship, babies in strollers at pizza parlors, toddlers and their babysitters in nursery houses, teenagers on a beach, entire families in their homes, children in their school, hostages in maternity hospitals, thousands of people in their work places, thousands of passengers on airliner, hundreds of passengers on train and subways...?
Jesus Christ never said "take matters into your own hands and blow up abortion clinics where the people within mock God's laws.." He did say that those folks will face God someday, with some 'splaining to do.
However, Mohammed gave his believer/killers a Koran full of explicit directives to use violence to advance his ideology, and full approval to kill on earth in the name of a deity he called "Allah".
So now, here in the past century alone, let's compare numbers of killers, numbers of victims, and the ideology of the killers and how and where it DIVERGES from or CONFORMS to, their "religion", please.
And Who is most likely to blow up YOU, and for what cause?
