The abortion clinic bombings are far and few between. Comparing that to the 10's of thousands, maybe millions of innocent people who have been slaughtered by the finatical islamofascist folks is like comparing water to fire. They are in a different ballpark.
And I agree that there is a big difference in the degree of these incidents...but looking at the "big picture", it is still ultimately the "tyranny of absolutism" that is at the heart of the problem...humanity's apparently never ending desire to make others think like they do...or else. Whether it's Wahabbiism or Christianity or Democracy...or the so called missionaries of Spain attempting to "save" the native savages by turning them on to god and curing them of their heathen ways...it's all the same...assholes trying to impose their ways on others because they think they are more advanced, enlightened, spiritual, close to god, wiser, or whatever than the next guy or group whose ways they didn't take the time to understand clearly or were just too arrogant and greedy to leave alone.

Note: I admittedly pick on christianity more often than I should because I spent a lot of years in catholic schools and therefore, that's where the bulk of my knowledge lies. Christianity is no more or less guilty of this "tyrannical absolutism" than any other culture or religion.
