/// Manchester University Diversity Officer Ilyas Nagdee posted: 'Stupid decision by @gmpolice to decide attackers should be seen as Muslim. Maybe that's why Islamophobias gone up 300% in the UK.' ///
Pleased to note however that they took the health and safety of the victims very seriously, noticing the eye protection glasses.

Was there a need to shout anything?
Could not the threat be generic?
After all, if Basque separatists decided to mount a suicide bomb campaign, we'd hate the police to be off guard because the 'correct' shout was not given out first.

youngmafbog - //Dont be bloody ridiculous Andy.
Given recent events it was a perfectly reasonable shout. It is the Muslim religion that has declared war on the UK not the Spanish separatists. //
Point one - your statement about 'war on the UK' is untrue.
Point two - there is no need to be rude because you don't agree with my view.
Point three - abusive language is not appropriate.

Your definition of grovelling must be in line with your beloved DMs
''However, on reflection we acknowledge that it was unacceptable to use this religious phrase immediately before the mock suicide bombing, which so vocally linked this exercise with Islam.
'We recognise and apologise for the offence that this has caused.'
Grovelling?

Mamya - //Maybe the apology was not strictly necessary but definitely the right thing to do. //
I'd agree entirely.
There seems to be a school of thought that simple courtesies should not be available to people deemed unworthy of them - and that does include Muslim people.
An apology smooths the way, and doesn't take ten years off anyone's life.
An approach of "I didn't mean to upset you, and may have done so unwittingly, but if I did, then I am sorry ..." seems to offer the sort of British approach to getting along with people that is a wonderful example to a culture which maybe does not operate that way at the moment, but may in time see the advantages, and come to do the same.
