Ever hear the proverb "Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones"? I'm not sure why you think you're entitled to a "special" kind of indignation to justify preaching.
I wish if there was a list for the non-Islamic terrorist attacks since WW1.
There is always another name for the terrorist attacks by non-Muslims; sometimes it's called "tactical bombing", sometimes it's called "collateral damage", but never called "terrorism".
It would be interesting, but non-Muslims rarely assign terrorism to crimes commit by their own.

The last I heard; the name of the formal "anti-terrorism campaign" was not the "anti-insanity campaign".
You can't mask the truth. And just like anti-Islam showed its ugly face, it will keep showing it again and again and soon you will run out of mirages.
Soon enough many will follow the footsteps of New Zealand in combating this cancer.
It's a truism that a lone actor who radicalized himself is not the same thing as a large group recruited and indoctrinated. As I've pointed out in the context of religion, it's not a delusion to believe what every one important to you believes and taught you from childhood. Dylan Roof is a different matter from, say, the Lord's Resistance Army. And mental illness is not an excuse for mass murder, you still wind up locked up.
Since when the rightist white-supremacist movement is not considered a large group ?
Also, ISIS enthusiasts practiced solo crimes, yet it was immediately counted as "terrorism" without question, even though they weren't really with ISIS; just enthusiasts.

I don't completely agree with you, but you're not completely wrong either, WinterHold. As far as the Western cultures are concerned, it seems we have as much (if not more) to fear from white supremacists than from outsider terrorists.
The extreme right is very dangerous on the west because its members already know their ways in and out, they know how to demolish the culture around them and also use the devastating weapons the west has.
For example, see Trump, Such a man is very dangerous with all of the U.S arsenal under his racist bigotry.
While Muslims see that in the afterlife God will judge the non-believers and them; white supremacists do not even believe in such idea: they seek to create hell right here right now to burn their enemies in.
