Did the BBC show a lack of respect for Muslims in this article? Their byline read "Finsbury Park attack: Roses for Ramadan worshippers"...shouldn't they have said "Muslims" instead of "Ramadan worshippers"...?

No, they're good... I understand that Ramadan worshippers are by definition Muslims 👍
Nice gesture of support for them in that story by the way.

No disrespect. If an attack happens when Hindu pilgrims are celebrating Kumbh festival then it is perfectly fine to say "prayers for Kumbh pilgrims".

Plus, having worked for newspapers in the past, the headline they chose used alliteration; it reads better.

When terrorists attacked & murdered Christians in Churches in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, last week, Hilary Clinton referred to the victims as "Easter worshippers," as opposed to *CHRISTIANS.*

Yes. Firstly because Muslims do not worship Ramadan, they observe it.
Secondly that is an article from a news outlet by some obscure reporter, Not two senior extremely high profile and well respected political figures and ambassadors.

But they were shown recognition as being Muslims in the actual article even if not mentioned in the title. It could be seen as disrespectful if the same writers of a separate article didn't show any recognition for another religion being attacked in a similar circumstance.
