Extremely sad incident. It is quite obvious that people were provoked by some cleric. Don’t know what will become of this nation.

btw, it is a really bad idea to have housing societies and residential areas based on religion or ethnicity. This makes the job of terrorists far easier. recently, we have witnessed numerous incidents where areas having majority of particular sect / religious affiliation were hit. It is time, people of such residential areas should device their own defense mechanism so that the attackers may not take them as sitting ducks.

The issue is that most of the Christians are the poorest of the society, therefore they cant afford to buy houses in better areas. It suites them to live in ghettos, hence easier to target. The ones who can afford buy houses in DHA and other societies but they are a very small minority.
