#1 According to this article the mosque is largest Shiite mosque in Brussels.
Another very interesting information from the article:
The last time an imam was targetted in Brussels was in 1989 when Saudi-born Abdullah Muhammad al-Ahdal was shot dead.
He served as imam in the Grand Mosque of Brussels and was killed on March of that year by an armed man inside the mosque.
His killing was claimed by a small pro-Iranian group in Lebanon who accussed him of being too moderate and of having rejected the death fatwa slapped on writer Salman Rushdie.
In 1989 even Saudi Wahabis rejected and condemned Rushdie rules. In the 21st century acceptance of Rushdie rules is consensus among Western elites.

#2 per this from Flanders News (english version), the bomber was reported to have shouted anti Shiite slogans during the attack
so, yes, it may well be a Sunni attack on the Shiites

#4 My first thought was Kristallnacht, but, now it's more like brown shirts on black shirts.
