"...tests attitudes.?" In the US, if Obama were to win (God help us! and I mean that...), I'm sure his thought police will use similar "standards".

They mention Islam but not Judaism on their test. This is flat out blatant and anti-Semitism.

Correction. This is flat out blatant anti-Semitism.

This test has “fail” written all over it. It tests for unimportant facts and largely, unimportant attitudes. It should be straightforward, asking about knowledge of rights and responsibilities.

1) Are citizens and residents obligated to obey all German laws?
2) Are citizens and residents *also* obligated to obey the laws of other European Union nations?
3) Are citizens and residents obligated to report crimes to the police that they have direct knowledge of having been committed?
4) Are citizens and residents obligated to obey police commands?
5) Is female circumcision legal in Germany?
6) Must all children attend authorized schooling until the age of (x)?
7) Are all male citizens between the age of (x-x) required to perform national service?
8) May businesses deny service to people based on their religion, race, gender, or nationality?

etc.

It is not. It's a multiple choice question regarding which religion molded German/European culture. If Judaism was included, Jews would bitch that having to choose between Christianity and Judaism was anti semitic. The answer, of course, is Christianity. It doesn't freakin' matter what other choices are presented. Some folks just love to be offended.

And if folks are so concerned about Germany not flagellating itself publicly and often enough about war crimes and atrocities, why do they want to e citizens? And if they don't what business is it of theirs.

I’ve seen some of the questions on this test.

They were too easy. They mostly dealt with things such as “how many states are there in Germany?” ... “What does a certain branch (named) of Government in Germany do?” ... “At what age are offenses committed by minors tried as an adult?”.

The conservatives wanted to make the test difficult which they should. Only Germans have any business immigrating to Germany to become citizens. But the liberals over there deemed even the idea as un PC so this test is the compromise.

Reparations would need to be mentioned on any Obama regime test.

Right...so why couldn’t they just add Judaism to the list? Sorry, not buying it. Nothing happens by accident and considering Germany’s past, they shouldn’t include Islam and exclude Judaism.

However, if they excluded Islam, they know they would be under the fire of the Jihadist’s brigade. It’s much easier to exclude Jews, who will only verbally protest this and not react in violence.

Okay. IF they included Judaism as a choice, the applicant would still have to choose Christianity over Judaism as the correct answer. Unless you live in some fever swamp that would think Judaism was the right answer. The criticism is bogus. The type of swill that comes from the ADL.

They may still get in trouble with the muzzies by including them. Because Christianity is the answer to any sane person, but probably not to a muzzie.

It looks like they picked the largest religions worldwide for their multiple choice question - It would look a bit silly if they included judaism, which is in 9th or 10th place if memory serves.

Why don't the Germans have fun and ask about the 1.5 million Christian Armenian holocaust in Turkey during WWI? Oh, that's right, it didn't happen. At least the Muslim Turks say it didn't.

Europeans seem determined to appease Islam at all costs. It will cost them dearly in the long run.
