I suggest we advance the understanding of the ideology that was behind this attack.
The way Radical Islam has been portrayed in the West can only be described in one way. Revisionist. It has been sanitized by the Leftists to serve their socio-political goal of Soviet style Balkanization, with the intention of using Islamic populations within their countries as ready made oppressed Victim Cults, who will not only vote en masse for Leftists, but serve to instigate societal disruption by not being required to assimmilate.
So, here begins the lesson. Most reasonably aware people have a reasonable knowledge of two Islamist terms, being Jihad and Sharia. What is necessary is to understand a third term, which is Dhimmi.
Dhimmi, pronounced zimm-eee, is the treatment of non-moslems living under Islamic rule. If you go to a source like Wikipedia, you'll find it defined as "Protected Person", and is benighnly described as non-moslems being required to pay additional taxes to practice their Faith. The islamic root of the word actually means "guilt" or "blame". Hardly a "protected person". This is a travesty as to what actually happens.
Dhimmi is what was behind the Manchester attack. Dhimmi ideology is what was and is behind the treatment and slaughter of non-moslems in ISIS controlled territories. Dhimmi is the whole point of Jihad, and is the reward for waging it. It is the total subjugation, oppression, and exploitation of a conquered people. Non-moslems have virtually no rights under Dhimmi, not even to the right of life. People living is the Balkans have been the ones most subjected to this Tyranny, and those living in Ottoman lands were subjected to it up until the end of WWI.
Here is a great example, and should be understood by anyone wanting to actually understand the motivations behind Radical Islam. There are many explanations about Dhimmi on this site.
