This approach is an updated version of the “Lugard” system adopted in the period of British colonialism- picl local leaders to control the territory for you. . It may seem to work in the short term from the official standpoint. However, the very same people whose desire for power and funds makes them so easy to corrupt <\/strike>co-opt are, almost by definition, hardly the people you would trust to control your community.<\/p>\n

The latter approach causes resentment from rival “communities” and “leaders” who aren’t from currently fashionable ethnic\/religious\/racial group and fosters enmity.Activities such as providing “females-only swimming, for Muslim women” – that you might suspect would contravene a good few anti-discrimination laws – are encouraged. The sorts of things that may sound progressive and “inclusive”, until you think that these are facilities to keep Islamic women secluded from the rest of society.<\/p>\n
