Knowledge of old Danish film is a decent proxy of interest in Danish culture, which is what we want -- along with actual ability to do so.

What we want to be knowledge of the values of liberal democracy - and a wish to live in such a society. I couldn't care less about whether they eat pork, celebrate chistimas, knows the actors in 40 year old danish movies or any other culture-thing.

Maybe you don't but most Danes do. You're a very odd person. It's not primarily about values, but ability. Ability selection is key to any successful immigration policy.

Did you just bait and switch from "culture" to "ability" ?

It's mostly about ability, and one can get that indirectly thru values/culture.

So... it is about values? Let me be clear. I would welcome any Ayaan Hirsi Ali or Maajid Nawaz, or Gary Kasparov.... But we should protect them against people like Anjem Choudary... That's significantly more important than whether they can spell "Oehlenschläger" or eat pork.

Your refusal to deal with practical reality is annoying. You can't get your dreamy ideas implemented. You can maybe get something like a Burka ban. Do you think mass Muslim immigration to Denmark is working out well? No, well, then find a way to reduce it -- in practice.

I'm not refusing to deal with practical reality just because I think many of the questions for Danish citizenship are stupid. ...get real. This "in practice" thing can't even be evaluated via Twitter. All I'm saying is that the "solutions" of DF are illiberal.
