It's not preventing making arrests, it's just attempting to prevent repercussions. Why should an individual's crimes get in the way of other people's prayer, which people of Muslim faith value highly.
Obviously if people want to make a big thing out of the situation then that is all very easy to do.

But this sort of 'sensitivity' to Muslims is producing a public backlash.
You don't here of anything similar being issued at Sikh, Jewish, Christian festivals.
I would say the same thing if 'sensitivity' was called for at Notting Hill Carnival, or Manchester's Mardi Gras.
Everyone should be treated equally by the law, regardless of who they are, or what minority they happen to belong to.
