There is nothing particularly “islamic” about this kind of mob violence. Remember Gujrat in 2002. Or Delhi in 1984.

Lahore : Ahmedi prayers centers attacked, scores dead

Sindh Medical College Alumni Association of North America (SMCAANA) strongly condemns this barbaric act of hatred and mass murder at mosques in Lahore.

Problem is that, in Pakistan, every target is a soft target except few. This has to be taken care of by better intelligence otherwise these will continue.
