Britain might deport Muslim women who fail - Captain - 01-19-2016
Britain might deport Muslim women who fail an English test. As a Muslim, I actually support that
Under current immigration rules, spouses coming to Britain must show basic fluency in English before they arrive. On Monday, Prime Minister David Cameron said such immigrants must prove they’re continuing to learn English, or could be deported.
There’s a rub: The proposal focuses on Muslim women.
Outrageous, his targeting one group, right? This might surprise you, but I’m an American Muslim whose parents immigrated to this country after a few years in the United Kingdom, and I’m on board.
The policy would be good for Britain, great for Britain’s Muslims and terrible for the far right.
What’s not to like?
On the American far right, Donald Trump has seen his support surge with calls for blanket evictions of large numbers of Americans, and he’s even gone so far as to challenge the idea of birthright citizenship altogether.

Yes, that's the thing though, the law focuses only on Muslim women. Is this because of the threat of terrorism though? I guess they assume that non- English speakers are more prone to becoming converted to extremists? I don't really know though but I think some Muslims might see this law as discriminating.

If they are singling out muslim women only, then yes, there is no question about it. It is stereotyping and discriminating.
That said, if one wants to live in a country that speaks a language other than his/her native language, then it should be understood that he/she must learn the language.
This policy that the USA has about accommodating them by providing services in their mother tongue I find to be stupid.
