British police have apologized for having a mock suicide bomber shout the phrase "Allahu Akbar" before setting off an explosion during a terror response exercise. Greater Manchester Police said in a statement Tuesday it had been "unacceptable" to use the religious phrase as part of the terror drill at a major Manchester shopping mall. Police Chief Tony Lloyd said the use of the phrase could "undermine" strong community relations in the city.Just. Wow.
Islamic State extremists have often used the phrase before attacking civilian targets.Ya don't say, AP. Thank God you're here to tell us these things! Now apologize. That inarguable fact you just printed may hurt people's feelings.
