During your naturalization interview, a USCIS officer will ask you questions about your application and background. Unless you qualify for an exemption, you will also take a naturalization test which is made up of two components, an English and civics test.
During the English test, you must demonstrate an understanding of the English language including the ability to read, write, and speak basic English.
@Rajk999 saidYes I did write that.
You said ...Muslims and Hispanics are being hunted down and expelled or killed by the government in the USA for refusing to assimilate and speak English and you are cheering them on every step of the way.
Yes, Im cheering to expel Muslims. I have stated the reasons dozens of times.

What you just quoted is not a question.

The expression 'refusing to assimilate' is vague. I asked already what do you mean by that in the context of the US situation.
In Egypt the govt required Arab language in order to be a citizen or something like that.
This is not the case in the US.
I cannot answer your vague question.
There are limited exceptions:
"You are exempt from the English language requirement, but are still required to take the civics test if you are:
Age 50 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident (Green Card holder) in the United States for 20 years (commonly referred to as the “50/20” exception).
OR
Age 55 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident in the United States for 15 years (commonly referred to as the “55/15” exception)."
"You may be eligible for an exception to the English and civics naturalization requirements if you are unable to comply with these requirements because of a physical or developmental disability or a mental impairment."

The Oaths went like this:
THE PROVISO TO ALL OATHS: I'a! Dagon! I submit to the authority of the Esoteric Order of Dagon. If I should betray these sacred Oaths, I am theirs to try, and to punish, according to the ancient laws and the extend of my transgression. I'a! Dagon!
THE FIRST OATH: I'a! Dagon! I swear that I shall keep faith with the Deep Ones in all things. I shall not resist their will, nor shall I betray their secrets.
THE SECOND OATH: I'a! Dagon! I swear that I shall serve the Deep Ones in all things, as they shall command me, to the furthest extend of my ability.
THE THIRD OATH: I'a! Dagon! I'a! Hydra! I take this child of Dagon and Hydra as my (wife or husband), to take into my home, to beget and raise children; so that the race, and the faith, shall continue to prosper.

@AThousandYoung saidThe article in the link explains, and I agree with Trumps take on what he meant by assimilation. In the case of Egypt citizenship requires Arabic to be the mother tongue. The two situations are vastly different.
How can you agree with someone who uses a vague word like "assimilate"?
@no1marauder saidEgypt at that time was requiring that the Jews had Arabic as the mother tongue, and this is not even close to the requirement prior to applying for US citizenship.

The 'mother tongue' means that Arabic is the language spoken in the home. This is an unreasonable requirement. Egypt was doing it to get Jews out of their country.
Most countries have some kind of proficiency in the local language prior to obtaining citizenship, not just the US.. it is a normal requirement.
