Greater Manchester Police sorry for 'Muslim terrorist' mock blast - BBC News

Hilarious, people getting annoyed that in an anti-terrorism drill, the "bomber" pretended to be a muslim. Apparently, there are other terrorists in the western world who strap bombs to themselves before detonating them. Anyone know who these non-muslim suicidal terrorists are?

 

[Bodhi]

No idea what you mean, I thought the usual terrorist attack had nothing to do with Islam?

 

[fettoken]

How can it be "Racial stereotyping" when Islam isn't a race...........................................................

 

[Moriath]

The who.e point is to make them as realistic as possible. And its that section of the world who are the suicide bombers. People really need to find something else todo other than scouring everything to find stuffto get butt hurt about

Nonsense from the professionally offended. It's always snack bar fans these days.

Actually, it's pretty dumb and utterly unnecessary to do that in a training exercise. For obvious reasons.

 

[Scouse]

I can see why you'd disagree that @Moriath but unfortunately you're physically unable to see why.

It's reasons of empathy.

 

[fettoken]

Bottom line, it seem like a very odd thing to do, regardless.

 

[Gwadien]

Agree with Fett.

What's the point anyway?

How about 'And god said let there be light'

It seems it is the only thing they ever say in YouTube videos

 

[~Yuckfou~]

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. Boom!

Would have been much better.

 

[CorNokZ]

The snack bar wasn't needed, but I can't see why it would offend anyone

 

[Scouse]

I can't see why it would offend anyone

If they'd had gone "sha ta tar PO-TAY-TOES" before detonating their fake bomb then I bet all the non-terrorist Irish* would have been very upset.






*Not that there's very many of them.

 

[fettoken]

"sha ta tar PO-TAY-TOES".

Is that in Gaeilge?

 

[DaGaffer]

"sha ta tar PO-TAY-TOES"

What is that?

I think Póg do thóin beannacht Sasanach would be more appropriate.

God I'm such a nerd, I knew what that was and I haven't read Dune since I was 11.
