Good that he apologized. We all know that it is absolutely unheard-of for Muslims to scream “Allahu akbar” while committing acts of violence. This was clearly an inexcusable instance of “Islamophobia.”
“Keith Vaz, chairman of the Commons home affairs committee, added: ‘There was no need for the Chief Constable to apologise I regard it as puzzling. His force was only doing their job. It is established fact that Islamic jihadis are the most serious threat to the UK at this time and it was important that the demonstration should be as realistic as possible.'”
When a politician as compromised as Keith Vaz thinks your political correctness has gone too far, you’re really off the deep end.
Surrender of Britain Update: “Police chief apologises after fake Muslim shouts ‘Allahu Akbar’ in simulated suicide bomb attack at Manchester’s Trafford Centre,” Telegraph, May 10, 2016:
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.
Dr Erinma Bell, who describes herself as a “Community Activist in Peace & Conflict Resolution” blasted on Twitter:
Later in a statement he added: “For the past 24 hours GMP, along with other agencies has been hosting a counter terrorism training exercise based at the Trafford Centre which began with a mock suicide bomber detonating a bomb outside the shopping centre.
“It is necessary for agencies including the police to train and prepare using exercises such as this so that we would be in the best possible position to respond in the event that the unthinkable happened and an attack took place.
“The scenario for this exercise is based on a suicide attack by extremist Daesh style organization and the scenario writers have centred the circumstances around previous similar attacks of this nature, mirroring details of past events to make the situation as real life as possible for all of those involved.
“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 to Islam. We recognize and apologise for the offence this has caused.”
But Twitter user Spinderinabox said: “apologising for the truth? This country is too damn soft.” And Colin Piri wrote: “@gmpolice Why apologise? It’s a proven fact!!!”
Keith Vaz, chairman of the Commons home affairs committee, added: “There was no need for the Chief Constable to apologise I regard it as puzzling. His force was only doing their job.
“It is established fact that Islamic jihadis are the most serious threat to the UK at this time and it was important that the demonstration should be as realistic as possible.”
The exercise had been hailed as one of the biggest counter terrorism training exercises to ever take place on these shores which 800 volunteers recruited to play the dead and wounded….





WorkingClassPost says
Of course he should have shouted:-
Hari Krishna, Om
Westman says
Or, be carrying a copy of The Watchtower.
One could be excused for wondering if the excercise resulted in learning how to recognize and respond to Muslim terrorists, or, learning how to die in mass from PC poisoning?
kessler says
This sums up the hysteria of political correctness quite well.
And yet, you have people who sincerely believe that a Jihadi shouting “Allahu Akbar” is stereotyping muslims and that these attack “could be carried out by anyone”.
Yes, those organised HIndu terrorists could be at the door step of any UK shopping mall…the idiocy has reached new heights.
WorkingClassPost says
Yes, they’ve probably got bombs packed with flowers and beads!
jihad3tracker says
What is that old expression about such nonsense? “You couldn’t make this stuff up and be believed !”
Maybe their next step should be asking one of the jihad trainer bad guys put on a prayer shawl and a yarmulke, carry a replica of the Ark, toss gefilte fish in the air, repeat a few of Henny Youngman’s best jokes, and yell “Oy vey — such a shot I’ll give these goyim !”
So the outrage will be kept at a manageable level.
DP111 says
If they cant scream “allahu ackbar”, then its not a real factual training excercise.
Christianblood says
(…UK police chief apologizes for featuring Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” in counterterror training exercise…)
There is some great humor in this!
Western Canadian says
No, this fool is obviously an example of what level of success the soviet union has had, in destroying what could be called ‘Old Britain’, from within. The failure of the soviets (who did a great job in programming you to be an ignorant and unthinking parrot!) to win the cold war, was only a temporary set back… The longer war, waged on campuses, in newsrooms, political back rooms, has been very successful. As this pathetic soviet programmed shill demonstrates, and as a brain dead parrot like you, demonstrate with your every ignorant and hate filled post.
Politicallyincorrectistruth says
Hate filled post? Christianblood wrote:”There is some great humor in this! Your post IS hate filled though…hypocrite.
Jay Boo says
“it was important that the demonstration should be as realistic as possible”
———————————————————————————————
If civilians were present at the mall, it was probably more done for the cops egos and to get their jollies with an adrenalin rush anyway.
If cops tried that in certain parts of Texas around civilians at a shopping mall ,they might get full of lead before they could explain it was only a training exercise.
gravenimage says
Jay Boo, training exercises are indeed held in the United States, as well–including in Texas. They are *not* conducted in the midst of the general public, to avoid panic and just the sort of situation you suggest.
I doubt very much it is any different in the UK.
“FEMA Counter-Terrorism Exercise To Challenge Grayson County”
http://www.fema.gov/news-release/2002/09/25/fema-counter-terrorism-exercise-challenge-grayson-county
Notice the above exercise was announced ahead of time.
Angemon says
I remember an anti-terror training drill in Brazil some years ago. The police force accidentally (?!?!?!) used live ammo and ended up killing one of the people playing hostage.
Jay Boo says
Angemon & gravenimage
Same in Kenya
A woman jumped to her death out of a third floor window.
Let’s hope that in the US that the same thing would not happen, especially with children.
JawsV says
Concerning the UK, I urge all JW’s to read “Londonistan” by Melanie Phillips (2006). Only 10 years after her book was published London has a Muslim mayor. Please read! It’s brilliant! Like Robert’s books!
gravenimage says
Yes–disturbing but important book.
JawsV says
Everything she writes about is happening in London RIGHT NOW. Yes, it’s disturbing because the UK has submitted to Islam.
linnte says
Just ordered this book! Thanks for the info!
JawsV says
You’re welcome! “Londonistan” is here.
ECAW says
The only realistic thing about it was the battle cry Allahu akbar.
I have never seen such an incompetent suicide bombing, with the bomber twenty yards from the nearest infidel. Really, it’s quite shocking how standards have fallen.

UK police chief apologizes for featuring Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” in counterterror training exercise
………………………
Because no terrorist has ever shouted such a thing…
Oh, wait…Here’s the *very next story* posted on Jihad Watch today:
“German investigators: ‘No indication’ Muslim who screamed ‘Allahu akbar’ while killing man had ‘Islamic extremist motive’”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/05/german-investigators-no-indication-that-muslim-who-screamed-allahu-akbar-as-he-killed-man-had-islamic-extremist-motive
Note that the tools in the story above apparently can’t find a motive–yet apologists in the UK have no trouble considering such a phrase to be stereotypical of Jihad terror–but only when they are criticizing such ‘stereotyping’. We live in mad times…
Western Canadian says
Well, not ALL stereotypes. The one where anyone who actually has real world knowledge of islam being painted as a greasy, racist, islamophobic hate mongering piece of scum, is alive and well in the world these loons think they inhabit….
mortimer says
What stereotype?
Since January 1, 2016, there were 769 Islamic attacks in 41 countries, in which 7201 people were killed and 9307 injured.
Stereotype? Or reality?
WorkingClassPost says
Next we’ll be having fire drills without any fire alarms, or people shouting ‘ It’s raining, run for an umbrella’!
mandy says
Why sorry muslims dont feel sorry after killing and raping of christanS yezdis and many more
mortimer says
We are all on the front line. They will attack us at a daycare or a train station or shopping mall or an office building or in church. There will be no warning.
Anne Smith says
What do you expect when the Government Minister in charge of Counter Terrorism is a Muslim himself.
Yes, Dhimmi Dave has put a co-religionist in charge of overseeing operations against Muslim terrorists! You couldn’t make it up.
No wonder the Police chief had to grovel.
Jay Boo says
“Allahu Akbar”
Translation into English
By noted Islamic scholar — the most honorable Senator John McCain
“Allahu Akbar” is like Christians saying “Thank God”
Jaladhi says
This guy is clueless!! And allahu akbar he didn’t US president!! May be he shouts allahu akbar every day after passing a bill in the senate. LOL….
R Russell says
Allah is the moon God as can be seen from the crescent moon as a symbol for Islam. The history of the Moon God is available elsewhere online. Unless a distinction is made between the character of the Moon God and the character of the Christian God, YHWH, confusion may result thinking them to be the same person. They are not. Allahu akbar means that the person shouting it believes that their God, the Moon God, is the greatest of all Gods.
Angemon says
This is the headline. Compare it with the first paragraph:
“Apologized” vs “has been forced to apologize”. Talk about a misleading headline…
How the hell does that “stereotypes” muslims? If anything, it stereotypes terrorists. And most stereotypes have some truth to them. You don’t think of tall people when you think of China, nor do you think of dark skin when you think of Sweden. And guess what? Most terrorist attacks worldwide are committed by muslims. I’m talking about real terrorist attacks, like Paris, Brussels or London, not “terrorist” attacks where a PETA member throws a bucket of blood onto someone wearing fur or someone places a slice of bacon on a mosque doorknob. You know, suicide bombings, mass-shootings, mass-stabbings – the real deal.
No, islamoawareness increases every time a muslim wages jihad. Hence why you need to beat others down with the brittle club of “islamophobia”. I’m quite certain people associate islam with terrorism because of decades of islamic terrorism, not because the police had a training drill where the perp shouted “allahu akbar”.
Which is, of course, basic common sense. I mean, you don’t want the police to go “OK, that guy’s got an explosive vest and an assault rifle, and he’s shooting indiscriminately at civilians, however he’s shouting “allahu akbar”, therefore he can’t be a terrorist”, do you?
Of course, because no terrorist ever shouted “allahu akbar” before blowing themselves up, right? But I’m going to cut the police chief some slack – he’s probably safeguarding his salary, pension and the safety of his family.
Damn right.
Wait, Keith Vaz said that? Did I woke up in some sort of bizarro world today? BRB, got to check the traffic lights – I need to make sure that green means “go” and red means “stop”…
topposter says
“We need to move away from stereotypes if we want to achieve Real learning”. In other words, we need to ignore reality in order to achieve Real learning.
“Islamophibias gone up 300%”. There is no such thing as 300%, and there is no such thing as Islamophobia. I see Ilyas Nagdee has achieved Real learning, lol.
DP111 says
But rapes and terrorism is not Islamic(Nothing to do with Islam is the correct way to say it), so no need for any proud Muslim like the Chief constable of Manchester to apologise.
linnte says
Lost. England is lost. So sad!
RM says
You Brits (and Germans) are finito. The US is not far behind. Weve all basically just thrown in the towel. Most people (99%) that I know do not even discuss what is happening. But they will discuss The Walking Dead.
Marty says
In the UK it is unforgivable to suggest that any mohammedan could be other
than an ideal citizen.
That is why many hundreds, indeed thousands, of cases of child rape of
non muslim girl, & the remarkable “vanishing” of muslims who seem too
keen on life in the West, are not investigated.
Following the shame of having our ancient capital city fall into the hands of a
mohammedan mayor, I’m sure London police will have practice with
imitation terrorists claiming to be Jewish members of the Brexit Campaign.
sog says
From now on, whenever we hear the word “islamophobia” we should point out that islamophobia include the perspectives “fear the kafir” and “hate the apostate”, on which Islam’s evilest members thrive. Then start tallying the destructive tolls. The Paris attacks were indeed the acting out of islamophobia rather than a reaction to it: “Fear of the the kafir” is absolutely a subset of islamaphobia. We shouldn’t let islam’s boosters turn islamopobia on it’s head and forget the most destructive aspects of it.
Frater Saturn 666 says
Interesting few days when you’ve had Mayor Khan state that he would put London on a war footing with Islamic terror on his first day as Mayor, and now Keith Vaz defending charges of Islamophobia.
In contrast you have German authorities covering up the jihad attack by a terrorist screaming allah akhbar!!
White liberals/socialists opened a major can of worms.
There’s no going back.
Guest says
Yeah, I’m pretty sure this was accurate.
Bamaguje says
Indeed it’s Muslims who should be apologizing to we infidels. Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan should apologize to patriotic Brits for his unwarranted grovelling apology to Muslims.
R Russell says
I see the UK is incrementally adopting sharia law. Why on earth are they apologising? What other religious ideology is going about blowing themselves up? Truly the whole world is going mad.
JMB says
And in other news… “A crack armed police squad has arrested a retired public servant and church warden at his home in rural England for posting on a public awareness website called Jihad Watch. A spokesman for the British Police Hate Crime squad said they make no apology for treating this man, aged in his 70s very harshly in front of the assembled media contingent, and it was in the public interest to publicise his involvement with the Church of England…”
Yokel says
Please don’t joke about things like this. It is so close to real it is no longer funny.
linnte says
Good grief! I am glad it was a JOKE! It is very close to this yes! When MIT starts with the Islamophobia crap, we are in trouble.
JMB says
Yes, my “News Item” was satire, just to show how totally ridiculous the situation has become where PC dictates that the name of the greatest the threat ever to our civilization and way of life can not be mentioned, and our authorities will continue to tell us that Islam is NOT a threat to any of us.
Yokel says
Then read this from the SAME police force – “Muslim Police Chief Says ‘Offending Culture, Religion And Tradition’ Not Protected As Free Speech” at http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/05/09/muslim-police-chief-says-offending-culture-religion-tradition-not-protected-free-speech/
The Chief Inspector from Greater Manchester has the name Umer Khan, so it is possible that there is only one culture, religion and tradition that he is concerned about. The force area includes Bury, Bolton, Rochdale and Oldham. All towns with a highly culturally enriched population.
JMB says
Umer Khan as a senior police officer, this gets more and more scary and more and more unreal with every passing day.
Yokel says
I am wondering if he considers it his task to implement the “Pact of Umar” – the rules for dhimmis under muslim rule.
David, Thailand says
I have just discovered that Rapid Response Units in real life scenarios are actually armed, even though this may result in harm to innocent bystanders.
We should know who is responsible for this!
Georg says
Is this like the time the CIA found themselves on the Admin’s bad side for naming a hypothetical terrorist (kinetic activist) “Mohammed Raghead”?
David M says
What a crazy world we live in now, where the truth is the new hate speech. Just like the uproar over Cameron telling the Queen “Afghanistan & Nigeria are coming to the anti- corruption summit, & they are two of the most corrupt countries in the world.” It’s all true, but you aren’t allowed to say it apparently.
JMB says
I have just seen this on the lunchtime news here in Australia. Good one! It will be interesting to see how he squirms out of this, but I am sure he will do so with a little bit of help from the Ministry of Truth and/or the BBC. The best outcome will be that the PM will get a slap across the wrist from the EU or a “tut tut” from Obama and Merkel.
RICHTHOFEN says
When senior police officer, Sir Peter Fahy, spoke of ” The wonderful, peaceful nature of islam” on British media, it was clear that the delusional disciples of the mythical ‘multicultural’, politically (in)correct mantra, which has overwhelmed truth in Britain, now controls our every thought, word and deed. The EU(SSR) and its Coudenhove-Kalergi plan exacerbates this insanity in Britain, which has capitulated to the invading tsunami of aliens intent on establishing their medieval cult here, with clear plans to annihilate the indigenous peoples and all vestiges of civilisation – all aided and abetted by Quislings Camoron, Corbyn and their cabals – no wonder the police no longer know whose side they are on, or what they are supposed to be defending. Ultimately, if this continues , the British people, themselves, will have to deal with the problem, if government won’t. Apathy rules supreme among so-called liberal and so-called moderate Brits, who are being sleepwalked to oblivion, so it will take a lot to open their eyes – but it will happen, eventually, if government does not get a grip! It will not be pretty! But first, we must get OUT of the EU(SSR) and regain control of our country and its borders – OUT! LEAVE!
Yokel says
Sir Peter Fahy was Chief Constable of the Greater Manchester Police, the force that promoted Umer Khan to Chief Inspector (see my comments above).
All senior police officers will have been through training from the sole provider of suitable training courses: the College of Policing ( http://www.college.police.uk/ ). Like every other academic institution in Britain they have been captured by the Left and then thoroughly deny the act. But, “By their fruits shall ye know them”.
Angry Citizen says
Latest News:
Manchester Police have just announced that they will be restaging the Counter Terrorist Training event as they fully accept that it did not represent a realistic representation of a Terrorist Attack.
Further, they have offered a full apology for causing such upset and disrespect towards the ‘Peaceful Religion of islam”.
Manchester Police have stated, to ensure that the restaged event is as realistic as possible, the suicide bomber will now be dressed as a Nun singing “Ave Maria”.
Benedict says
The British Empire then ruthless and subjugated a lot of countries. The British now a bunch of cowards
Bob says
Ah, but those are all ordered & sanctioned by the ‘holy’ koran, so they’re all acceptable to the warped muslim ‘mind’.
mustapha crap says
Apparently the next terrorist training exercise will have the suicide bomber yelling Kumbayah prior to detonating the device, followed up with Hari Krisna devotees armed with AK47 charging around the place with a grand finale provided by the massed Brass bands of the Salvation Army playing Onward Christian Soldiers, snacks will be provided by the church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster
Flip says
Whiny Muslim babies.
So SICK of this.
Because if you get into debates with these people they start whining that “Allah” means God so the term should be accepted and respected in the same way – as a kind of philosophical idea.
But they don’t like it when THEIR WORDS are used as part of MUSLIM TERRORISM when actually MUSLIM TERRORISM is the problem – we all know it is!
We simply cannot communicate with these people – they live in a victim baby world which is also arrogant, misogynist, oppressive, intolerant, violent, supremacist and deceitful –
“We are all British citizens. As far as Islam is concerned it does not permit any killing.”
