I am sorry but this is partly an experiment to see if I have worked this out correctly. Apologies if I have messed up.

"The Christian Democrat-led government of Baden-Wuerttemberg, of which Stuttgart is the capital, has just introduced new "discussion guidelines" which have sparked national controversy.
They consist of 30 questions which can be put to applicants for German citizenship to see if they share democratic values. But they have been strongly attacked as aimed against the state's large Turkish community - and dubbed "the Muslim test". "
And some sample (leaked) questions:
One of the side effects of September 11 and the subsequent attacks is that it is becoming impossible for Muslims to become European citizens. The Dutch have imposed such tough conditions it is unlikely any Muslims will qualify. It seems the Germans are going to go the same way.

How do you view the statement that a woman should obey her husband, and that he can beat her if she doesn't?
You learn that people from your neighbourhood or from among friends or acquaintances have carried out or are planning a terrorist attack - what do you do?
Some people hold the Jews responsible for all the evil in the world, and even claim they were behind the attacks of 11 September 2001 in New York. What is your view of this claim?
Imagine that your son comes to you and declares that he's a homosexual and would like to live with another man. How do you react?
