@Damedius: Not sure exactly what you are complaining about? Almost all of the perps have links to right wing extremism; however, they only classify them as ideological if there is direct evidence regarding motivation that is tied to the specific event. They also go on to explain why.
Just after your quote they explain that they have not classified the Marjory Stoneman school shooter as ideologically driven despite his numerous connections to, and fascination with, right wing extremism. I guess the fact that his ammo magazines had swastikas on them wasn't enough to be sure of the motivation due to the lack of a manifesto or other statements about the specific action.
The point the ADL is making is that the toxicity of extremism (right or left) is the problem and creates numerous issues for society. And it just so happens that, except for one instance, every perp had ties/interest/fascination with right extremism.
I am pretty sure that Zariya and others would have just as much disgust for left wing extremists if they went around murdering people. But generally they don't as they are more of the destroy public property and beat up people type of extremists.
Last, all media have questionable headlines these days as it is hard to attract viewers without. What matters is the quality of the report itself. In this case the ADL report is very good because it explains its reasoning.
