I am slightly baffled by this case.

Theres no doubt the mob acted wrongly.

However theres no point in shooting into a crowd of frustrated people. That will make matters even worse.

I think the root cause of the entire problem is actually the deep sense of frustration among Muslims as a whole and then when you combine the state Pakistan is in right now, no wonder everyone seems so volatile in these places.

From what I understand of this sort of thing, there was a time I too could have easily been swept into the ranks of such mobs… riots are the manifestation of peoples frustrations with the very systems that uphold society, when people reach this level even the most crazy notions will be accepted if they are seen as a way of getting back at things.

Now if things like this are to be avoided in the future several social issues need to be addressed.

First is the monoploy that Molvis have on society, too much influence from the Molvi baraderee is dangerous.

Secondly corruption in the system from Politicans to Soldiers, Police, burgers… the poor dacoits and cut-throat street urchins who swarm all acorss the land all need to be dealt with.

Thirdly people need to forge thier own identity and individual skills and learn to think independantly for themselves rather than take for granted what others tell them and learn that they too have power not just the ones with guns or books.

Your right. This is why I always advocate for secularism. Religion is being foisted on this stupid society, by people with ill intent, seeking their own cut from the hide of this poor pathetic country.

Marx was right when he said that religion is the Opiate of the Masses. Opiates make you do stupid things, like burning some poor guy alive even while he is in jail, while the Taliban are happily beheading Pakistani soldiers and people are of dying for want of basic needs.
