It is not similar at all. Kids all over the world draw swastikas on bathroom stalls and such, just to provoke. Rarely do they get beheaded/stabbed as a consequence, though.

Swastikas are not acceptable, but very few have any strong personal feelings about it.

The most recent and well-known case was the stabbing of Salman Rushdie.
