Yves HermanIt’s fair to say David Cameron got a lot of stick after saying Muslim women need to learn English and fully integrate into society…
But, these women have responded brilliantly to his claims and completely ridiculed him over social media.

The PM attracted criticism earlier this week after saying they needed to learn English to tackle the ‘traditional submissiveness of Muslim women’, which suggests he doesn’t actually know that many Muslim women in real life.
People took to Twitter using the hashtag #TraditionallySubmissive in response, to turn his comments completely on their head. Some pointed out their language skills are alright actually…
Submissive is most definitely not the word I'd choose @David_Cameron.#TraditionallySubmissive pic.twitter.com/DptxsiVF6Z
