David Cameron will tomorrow launch a new drive to counter Islamic extremism by calling on more Muslim women to learn English – in the hope that they will turn into more powerful moderating forces.

The Prime Minister has privately argued that one of the main reasons why young Muslim males fall under the spell of fanatics is because their mothers have too much of a subordinate role within their communities to argue against the influence of the extremists.

First generation immigrants have traditionally found it difficult to pick up a new language as adults and have tended to rely heavily on their children for support in this area.
If this trend continues, we should see an increase in Muslim mothers (and fathers) comfortable with the English language in their adoptive countries over time.

For the trend to continue, the UK needs to stop allowing a separate society(ies) for migrants. They need to be a bit more proactive in getting immigrants to assimilate.
