They did not have the same beliefs as other Muslims. Same way that you don't have the same beliefs as the extremist terrorists who have identified themselves with the right.
Having your beliefs vilified because of a few extremists people who say they have the same beliefs as you (but obviously they don't) is what you're experiencing and what happened to Muslims after 9/11...it doesn't have to be a hate crime, it's how Muslims or even non-Muslim middle-easterners are treated everywhere.
Shut the fuck up.
People called Muslims, being villified for what other people called Muslims did, makes sense. Villifying the right for what Muslims did, is just the left-wing media doing what they do best.
Right wing terrorism is something the left-wing media makes up to push their agenda. They have been trying to attach just about every shooting/bombing/etc to it for years, and have mostely failed, then had to shut up sine in many of the cases the perps turned out to be radical leftist.
You want a valid comparison? This is more like the idiots who blamed the Jews for 9/11 than anything. Their blaming ain't gonna do anything at all, except kill their credibility. No one is going to start carrying out hate crimes against the right, nor treating them differnt in public (which is good since, there are more conservatives in this country, than liberals.) Most conservatives I know, just laugh, and tell the idiots to fuck off, but some day someone is gonna lose his shit, and honestly, with how the left acts in these situations, I will be rooting for the right-winger, when that happens.
This is the left purposely doing a misinformation campaign to draw attention away from the fact that, they have a psychopath problem. It lets them ignore union thugs calling for blood in the street, and the terror attempts of the radical left.
Bottom line, right-wing terrorism is not a big prob now, but if the left-wing media keeps it up they may make it one, and since this is a center right country, that is a very bad idea for the left.
