I have become increasingly concerned by how routine this has become, aping the category descriptors of identity politics that have got us into a situation where the understanding of multiculturalism as a policy agenda means that there is a demand for the police to treat each and every cultural manifestation in the form of religion with respect and, in a way, to treat religious leaders as though they represent the community, whereas they are not elected. That can get very confusing, be quite divisive and potentially lead to a kind of sectarianism —an outcome that I am not very happy with.
