The comparisons are obvious Tully, both groups were led by a charismatic yet delusional man who used different types of mind control techniques on their followers. Both men used religious overtones to instill a mindset of fear in their followers, wherein some type of action must be taken to bring about change. Both groups did commit murder, directly related to the teachings of their leader. The main differences only occur after the murders.
