Totally agree - however, I was not comparing them, I was pointing out that other mass killings by individuals had happened that were not Islamic terrorist related (which the OP said wasn't the case).
Here is another one from today.

I think we need to start treating those individuals and institutions within our countries inciting others to commit terrorism as terrorists - it will be difficult to balance the line between free speech and inciting terrorism, but some of the comments made are obviously inciting terrorism, so get those "low hanging fruit" first.
