Thank you @BBCNews for changing the headline on the front page of the BBC website, following complaints from CfMM and others.
It is extremely important, especially when reporting on terrorism, that care is taken to not give a misleading impression of the facts. pic.twitter.com/gn1WkKrDUf

The Muslim Council of Britain says that it is trying to make sure that “a misleading impression of the facts” is not given. But in this case, the BBC’s second headline could be more misleading than the first. But of course the MCB’s first priority is to make sure that no one thinks that Islam has anything to do with terrorism. If only they could convince the jihad terrorists.
Thanks to AltNewsMedia.

Of course he prayed to Allah. What other god approves of murder and mayhem?
mortimer says
He prayed that Allah would accept his act of jihad-terrorism-martyrdom ‘IN THE WAY OF ALLAH’.
Allah approves of … no he ‘DECREES’ the use of TERRORISM and DECEPTION.
Koran 8.60 ‘TURHIBUNNA’ (terrorise them).
Koran 8.54 ‘Allah deceived and Allah is the best of DECEIVERS.” (khairu l-makirina)
M-K-R – etymology of Meem kaaf rah = Arabic Dictionary of Al-Mawrid: “to deceive, delude, cheat, double-cross, dupe. Noun: cunning, craftiness, slyness, wiliness, double-dealing, deception, deceit, artifice, guile.
The Islamic Council is using ‘MAKR’.
The are the BEST of DECEIVERS in UK. Khairu l-maririna.
mortimer says
FIRST THE ACT OF KINETIC JIHAD (terrorism), then follows the VERBAL JIHAD OF COVERING UP JIHAD and DISSEMBLING IT.
All Muslims conduct VERBAL JIHAD when they LIE about, DISSEMBLE and CLOAK jihad … as we see the Islamic leaders doing here!
Islamic leaders know that jihad-martyrdom-terrorism is the GREATEST OF DEEDS in Islam … and highly to be praised by them … but they praise the jihad-martyrs in private and only among Muslims! They are duplicitous liars.
Jihad is greater in rewards than prayer, but praying for the success of the jihad and ‘MAY ALLAH ACCEPT MY MARTYRDOM IN THE WAY OF ALLAH!’ … that would be even better.
I asked the Prophet, “What is the best deed?” He replied, “To believe in Allah and to fight for His Cause.” (Sahih Bukhari, 3:46:694, Sahih Muslim, 1:149)
Jihad is the guarantee of paradise:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Know that Paradise is under the shades of swords.” (Sahih Bukhari, 4:52:73 [see also 4:52:210, and Sahih Muslim, 20:4681])
Jihad best in reward:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
A man came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).” He replied, “I do not find such a deed.” (Sahih Bukhari 4:52:44)
In conclusion, it is no surprise that the Islamic leaders COMPLETE the ACT of jihad with VERBAL JIHAD.
OTTER says
Not only is there a war of weapons but the war of words is equally if not more important. And they are winning. That he was playing before the attack was obviously he was trying to get a spiritual sustenance and steel himself for what he was doing next.

They don’t want the BBC telling Allah how pious they are?

Just because it is inconvenient for the Infidels to know at this point.

The media must never be allowed to reveal the truth, that the religion inspires its followers to acts of violence. The public must never be allowed to realize that Islam shows one face to the world, a religious face, while hiding its other face, the violently political one.
Michael Copeland says
The Islam-compromised BBC is a nest of dire political correctness and left wing bias.

Thanks for that link Michael.

Yes–disgusting claptrap. There is no “British Islam”.
PRCS says
“The opportunity to use that to explain the Sharia law penalty was missed.”
A common malady.
DavidR says
“In the moments leading up to the incident the person was observed kneeling with their head and posterior raised, clearly a symbolic statement indicating their frustration with Islamophobia in the U.K.”

I live in the UK and the police had ruled out terrorism before they even knew who they were looking for.
I doubt if we will hear anymore about this it will be all hushed up.

Muslim Council of Britain crows after getting BBC to remove info that jihadi was praying before attack from headline
……………..
Disgusting–the BBC being complicit in leaving their own people in the dark about the motives of Islam.
Jayell says
What or who does this pompous, opinionated, self-appointed, so-called ‘Muslim Council of Britain’ think it is? Some kind of unelected pseudo-Governmental organisation whose dubious ‘advice’ or approval needs to be obtained in matters of national interest when it doesn’t even properly represent a less-than 5% of an uninvited, imported sector of the UK population that few of the legitimate indigenous UK majority ever wanted to be here in the first place? It becomes more and more apparent by the day that the ‘MCB’ is a symptom of the covert takeover of the UK by extraneous islamic interests, as also witnessed by the muslim influence in the BBC, the controlling influence that the Saudis have bought in one of the UK’s national neswspapers, the unpublicised fact that Saudi money is alleged to involved in the continuing HS2 rail project that no one in the UK wants anymore, that the Saudis allegedly pay muslim females in the UK for every child they produce (above and beyond all the excessive welfare payments that muslims receive), that the Saudis are alleged to have financed 95% of all the mosques now contaminating the UK urban environment….. Might one also peculate that the same extraneous agencies are behind the withholding of the Goverment’s Grooming Gang report and maybe also have a hand in the catalogue of official harassment cases of those who speak out against islam? And that this latest incident with the BBC is yet another instance of increasing actual/attempted muslim censorship within the UK?

I’ve bought four of your books, Robert Spencer, the bravest man and most prolific writer I know. This is so trivial I must apologize for being a pedant. But, misplaced modifiers are one of my pet peeves. The headline:
Muslim Council of Britain crows after getting BBC to remove info
that jihadi was praying before attack from headline
would be stronger written:

that jihadi was praying before attack
Keep up the good work, Sir.

OLD GUY says
Islam is it the NEW WORLD ORDER? I hope not it sure seems like a crazy mans ideology and total enslavement of mankind. Tribalism with blood letting and human sacrifices are not far behind the Islamic religion. What is the draw to this brutal form of religion? Is it that MEM have total control of the lives of little girls and women and you probably have to throw in young boys also. One thing for sure the rulers will live in fabulous style while the rest will not have much. It always works out that way.
gravenimage says
Since George W. Bush posited the New World Order as the peaceful world after the cold war ended, likely not.
Madge Hirsch says
You really need to get your facts straight. The report was about Salman Abedi the Manchester Arena bomber who was a Libyan . You are inferring that it was the perpetrator of the stabbings in Birmingham. The BBC should not give in to the MCB but you should not be mixing up 2 completely separate attacks. The man arrested for the Birmingham stabbings has a non Muslim name. That does not preclude him being a jihadi convert rather than a common or garden nutcase but so far there is no info about this.
gravenimage says
Madge, reread the article now. It is much clearer.
Madge Hirsch says
I am glad that the discrepancy has been corrected. It damages the credibility of counter jihad voices if inaccuracies are printed.
Norman Gardner says
I understand that he was reputed to be a Somali . The fact is that he was reported to be praying prior to initiating his attacks. The Muslim Council while stating there should be facts is actually stating to leave out the facts. It is embarrassing for them to have it known that another attack in Britain was caused by a Muslim. The charade continues.
Madge Hirsch says
If you are talking about Salman Abedi the Manchester Arena bomber there has never been any suggestion that he was a Somali. There has been a suggestion that the Birmingham stabber is of Somali origin but not that he was seen praying before carrying out his attacks. Given he is called Zephaniah it is possible but not likely that he is a Somali.
The Awful Truth says
Muslims have been rebranding themselves as they have a serious image problem. Once called Saracens or Ishmaelites, recently they were called Mohammedans and Moors. No we’re Muslims. No we’re Islamic. Then Islamic terrorist to Islamists to Daesh. Whatever they call themselves, they need constant rebranding. Why? Because they’re a barbaric religion that mass sacrifices animals and infidels. Any new wording will mean the same thing.
