Possibly not, but there is a difference.
This is a young child we are talking about. Sure making jokes in the London bombing thread wasn't too appropriate but unlike then the only thing we know for sure is that young madeline has been kidnapped. We don't know if she is dead/alive etc. Also there is a level of acceptance.
Making a joke about a defenseless young girl compared to a group of people who were horribly killed by an act of terrorism is different in my eyes.
Like Tomkat said it is possible to be too cynical/sarcastic, and this is one of those moments.
