Police chief apologises after fake Muslim shouts 'Allahu Akbar' in simulated suicide bomb attack
Daily Telegraph ^ | 5/10/16

A police chief has been forced to apologise for featuring a fake Muslim shouting "Allahu Akbar" in a major counter terrorism training exercise against Isil.

The exercise had depicted a suicide bomber detonating explosives and opening fire in the middle of a busy shopping mall.

But critics claimed the depiction of the terrorist "stereotyped" Muslims during the mock up at the Trafford Centre, near Manchester which was aimed at testing the emergency response to an extremist attack in the wake of ISIS led assaults on Paris and Brussels.

They didn’t want the simulation to actually simulate reality.

When I look at the percentage of terrorist attacks in which the conservative attacker yells “cling to God and to guns” and the percentage in which the Obama-voting terrorist shouts “Allahu Akbar”, I can see why the police chief would do something so insensitive.

It was still wrong. He should be fired and replaced by someone who wants to figure out how far we have to go to assuage the righteous anger Muslims feel toward us because of Trump, and Bush, and the Crusades.

Well, nobody would expect any Chasidim or Amish to shout “alla akbar” would they?

Oh, yeah. I was in our local mall about an hour ago. Buying ammunition.

Just curious, when was the last suicide bomb attack which was not a Muslim? I'm guessing July of 1945.

Just yell “Oahu snack bar” instead. If anybody complains, explain you were yelling about a fast food restaurant in Hawaii.

Remember the original movie airplane? They had a gag where airport security pulled an old lady out of line as a threat as Arab looking nen in Arab garb carrying weapons passed by unnoticed. This movie was made pre 9/11. Nobody complained that it was a horrible stereo type. But now that Islam slaughters more and more...the cowards are more and more afraid to speak the simple obvious truth. Terrorism is an Islamic thing. While there are some other groups that do it on occasion the vast bulk of terrorists come from Islam. This is not because the terrorist dint know true Islam...it’s because true Islam is about terror and conquest. It’s about arrogance and greed and subjegation through lies and torture and murder. It is about sanctified gang rapes. The oppression of others when they are in power and the deception of others before they have that power. The world divided after 9/11. Into those that face the horror and evil and those that pretend it will be OK if we are just nice to it.

In the interest of Political Correctness, the simulated suicide bomber should have been an elderly nun from Minnesota, and she should have shouted "Lutefisk!" when launching her attack.

(Nothing will clear a room faster than shouting "Lutefisk!")

Being of Swedish and German heritage, I’d agree but for not knowing the name of a foul soup concoction that my Aunt made. All I remember is that is was purple and I went to bed hungry.

There is a Lutefisk festival here in town and that week I defer to my German heritage (it took me years to appreciate ‘sill’, pickled herring and my sole ‘fish’ remains sword or shark).

“Glug” is a different matter and much appreciated. However I doubt that a muslim terrorist (real or fake) could make it properly, much less pronounce it.

regards
