Thanks.

The context is the 'submission' I observed taking place in the UK (editorial submission to the fast growing Muslim population in this case).

So, although Buddhist mob violence undoubtedly exists, I would be really surprised if we hear the collocation 'Muslim mobs' on mainstream UK TV News.

It also didn't surprise me that there was no mention of the cause of the violence, even with the softening syntax of "Buddhists claim/allege..." and so on.

what/which cause of violence are you referring to?

would have been nice in a leading 10-minute report on national news to briefly cover the cause of tensions and violence from both sides - rape, insurgency, military crackdowns and so on: wouldn't have taken long and all kinds of softening 'claims' and 'alleges' could have been used.
