Social Cohesion, not Gender Confusion
Shelina writes of new government policies intended to curb terrorism by funding for Muslim women. Why, she asks, is this funding designated to curb terrorism, rather than address the real issues around social cohesion?
Apparently, we’re not very assertive. And apparently, we need the government’s help. And apparently, some training courses are going to solve the problem. Thus spake the government when announcing that they would help us Muslim women to stop extremism. By going on some courses. Once we’ve been suitably trained, we’ll go on to spy on our kids, create community cohesion, and curb terror. We’ll then stop for afternoon tea. After dunking our digestives in our chai, we’ll reverse global warming and achieve world peace. Muslim women will save the day!
