Though I am curious if someone shot up a bunch of folks at a Mosque that were from Pakistan would the media in the UK refer to it as violence against Asians?
They'd probably just refer to it as terrorism.

No one but idiots like you think of Pakistan (or Afghanisan or any other 'stan) as "Middle East". Because they're not. The 'stans are Central Asia (with Pakistan, the southernmost, arguably being South Asia instead). The farthest extent of the Middle East is Iran and even that's pushing the region farther than it should probably go. Iran itself is probably more properly part of Central or South Asia and not the Middle East at all, by every categorizing metric one might care to bring up.
