In my opinion, this display of drama is quite unnerving actually. They are like 'praying arabs' because that is how arabs pray, catholics only kneel and bow the head slightly.
PS I checked with my closest Muslim friend and he couldn't stop laughing at people being offended by the way he prays.
This dramatic effect would confuse police officers. And it is important to recognise when they got all distressed like.. hmm yeah when the police arrived. Strange indeed.
Except that the GNR officer did not describe the scene as depicted in Amaral's documentary -
After the search, he noticed a situation that seemed unusual to him, when at a determined moment, the girl's parents kneeled down on the floor of their bedroom and placed their heads on the bed, crying. He did not notice any comments or expression from them, just crying. He says that at the main reception the father also knelt down, placing his head on the floor and crying. He did not hear the father say anything.
There is nothing wrong about the way muslim's pray, it was the way Amaral called them 'odd' when they were obviously very distraught and crying whilst praying at the side of the bed. His calling them 'like praying arabs' is offensive when it is mocking them, why bring it into his documentary if not to mock and belittle?
As to you saying they displayed distress. Haven't you read the statements? The McCann's were distressed from the moment they found Madeleine missing!! They were equally distressed and in despair when two GNR officers displayed that they were unable to help them. How would you react to that situation.
If my post is altered or deleted, then I would expect Misstakenidentities to be also as they are full of nastiness.
