Munira Mirza
British Public Servant
Some Muslim lobby groups have argued that Christian groups already have public funding for their schools and services so they should too. In response, there are now Hindu and Sikh organisations demanding their own concessions lest they feel left out. The demand to wear the headscarf one day spurs the demand to wear the crucifix the next.

They are becoming Westernized at the same time as they are adopting their religious identity more strongly.
