The way the moron-ness is demonstrated is very different. One way (the killing way) is way worse than the other way (the book burning way).

One way (burning a book....well as long as you do it symbolically and not for the purpose of ensuring nooone else can read the content of the book) is a key part of free and democratic society. Murder for religious beliefs is everything a free society should be designed to avoid.
So I would say the two actions sit on very very opposite sides of the spectrum.
