Sadia Azmat on PM's language comments

In her take of the week, comedian Sadia Azmat criticises David Cameron's push for English language lessons for Muslim women to help them resist the lure of extremism.

The government, she says, "is scared of a problem it doesn't understand" and has reacted by alienating Muslim women.

She says for her, wearing a headscarf is an "act of rebellion" not a symbol of oppression and questions whether the PM wants her to "prove" her Britishness.
