So, Britain's far-right party UKIP wants to promote integration by oppressing British Muslim women and girls.
UKIP's so-called integration agenda includes a series of policies that mainly focused on Islam and Muslims. It included imposing vaginal examinations for Muslim school girls and banning the burqa.
"
Our bold new integration agenda aims to bring communities together," the anti-European Union party said in its agenda unveiled on Monday ahead of Britain's June 8 election.
Well, it seems it
did in fact do a great job in bringing communities together, not to condone its ludicrous policies, but rather to condemn what many have labelled as Islamophobic.
UKIP wants to "pass a law against the wearing of face coverings in public spaces" claiming face coverings are a "deliberate barrier to integration and, in many contexts, a security risk too."
That means you too, beekeepers...
"I think in practical terms any such policy would have to have a series of exemptions for people who used 'Burqa type' clothing for their work," Martin Smith, Public Affairs Director for the British Beekeepers Association said, after the group demanded UKIP clarify their policy on banning face coverings.
A
statement from the party also added that it would "implement school-based medical checks on girls from groups at high risk of female genital mutilation" as well as the prosecution of parents of girls subjected to the procedure.
