Far from being part of an organised terrorist group, the ultra-right wing don't have enough brain cells between them to be able to organise a cocktail party in an off licence.

Terrorists don't need to be organised for it to be terrorism though, most muslim attacks are also committed by lone nutters.
I don't think weighing crimes against each other on a scale is the best way of looking at things either, crimes are still crimes. Terrorism is still terrorism.
