Mobs are rarely steeped in learning, or grounded in a wisdom which makes them capable of respecting life and property. Do you think any in a mob has ever reflected on words like these?
For had it not been for God’s repelling some people by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of God is mentioned much.
From Quran 22:40
What about these?
And do not insult those they invoke other than God, lest they insult God in enmity without knowledge. Thus have We made pleasing to every community their deeds. Then to their Lord is their return, and He will inform them about what they used to do.
Quran 6:108
No, instead, the mob rampages, destroying everything in its path, with no regards for the sanctity of life or the sacred. A mob is only capable of destruction. Enlightenment cannot come to those lost in frenzied rage.
