If you are arguing that all murderers are mentally unwell then shouldn't all murderers receive psychiatric treatment instead of punishment?
Why not both?

Fortunately, most people with mental health disorders who commit crimes as a consequence of those disorders do get treated differently by the justice system.

Islamic related murder is missing from your list.

Does that mean we excuse Islamic related murders because its conducted by those with mental illnesses?

I'm going to rob a bank and shout 'I'm Bono from U2, give me all the ******* money'. That way, I'll end up minted and living on the Costa Brava, and the police will arrest Bono thus preventing him from making anymore 'music' it's win win for everyone.

It would be more believable if you said you were Bob Geldof as he has previous with that line.

What if everyone misheard and thought he said 'Rock the Casbah', would the Clash be seen as a national security risk?

Only if there had been years of the same violet acts as a result of the Clash. For a one off, they'd probably be off the hook.

Just because a mentally impacted individual whom happens to be a French citizen of Arab ethnicity, it does not infer anything Islamic related.
In fact it has been questioned just what was uttered at the time. Hardly a case of terrorism no matter what the OP would like it to be.

Very selective as usual. How about all the folk of Islamic appearance being harassed and/or bashed or verbally abused on the streets of Britain/France/Germany etc?

Very sad news.....

The mother of Mia certainly doesn't accept it was terrorism.... I guess she has information about the perpetrator that we dont.
