The Government needs to take a stronger stance in preventing the imposition of dress codes on Muslim women, a think tank has said.
A new report by Policy Exchange discusses how Islamist groups have ‘weaponised’ discussions surrounding religious clothing in the UK and beyond, potentially limiting the freedom of choice for Muslim women.
The think tank emphasised how public fear of Islamophobia can lead to conservative groups stifling open debate about religious attire in the UK, even though women in many Islamic countries are protesting against the hijab’s imposition as an oppressive garment.
Can you imagine a similar staement made by a Canadian MP or organization?
