--- Pakistanis blame other minority Ahmadi Muslims, Indians, Jews, Americans - anyone other than face the truth
--- Pakistan Daily Times: "People on Friday lashed out at the US, blaming its alliance with the Pakistani government and its presence in Afghanistan for spurring Thursday's deadly attacks on Data Darbar. Protests were held in Lahore against the attack, as the death toll rose to 44."

--- "'America is killing Muslims in Afghanistan and in our tribal areas (with missile strikes), and militants are attacking Pakistan to express anger against the government for supporting America,' said Zahid Umar, 25, who frequently visits the shrine."

--- "Several other people interviewed blamed the Ahmadis. While others cast about for additional villains - though America’s hand was seen there, too."
--- "Washington 'is encouraging Indians and Jews to carry out attacks' in Pakistan, said Arifa Moen, 32, a teacher in the central city of Multan."
