You are perhaps young to understand how the CIA works but one thing to learn is that the CIA is enormous in size with a classified budget. Put it this way, the CIA budget is what ever it needs to be to meet its missions, whatever it takes, the sky's the limit. One of those mission tasks is certainly to find and monitor Usama Bin Laden and his network. Among several other thousands of tasks are the need to forecast tensions in Europe, a continent with a history of military eruption caused by ethnic and cultural differences. This article clearly points out that Europe's changing demographics may give rise to a significant Muslim presence, and this portends conflict of cultures. This is nothing that Europe hasn't seen before as they have weathered and resisted the penetration of Islam throughout their history.
This is a condescending lecture that I don't need. I am NOT young and have been reading about the FBI for decades. Geez, you sound like you are an elementary schoolteacher doing a "show&tell" for 2nd graders.

This article points out that Europeans must make it possible for young European people to believe they have a future, enough so that they will want to have families. The alternative is Islamic immigration and subsequent war and terrorism
More condescending. The FBI has many more important things to do than to TRY to predict Europe;'s future. And who is the FBI to suggest to Europeans that they increase their family size? What arrogance.
And, making that enormous leap from small families to Islamic immigration is skewed logic. Well, it is totally nonsequitir.
Your finally piece de illogic equates Islamic immigration with "subsequent" war and terrorism. That just makes no sense. Pointing out that it HAS happened in SOME places is NO prediction for it happening again in any given country at any given time.

I suggest that you keep your day job and DON'T try to become a lecturer for the FBI and its role in our society. I think first you might take a course or two in logic...that would be straight and clear thinking.

Have fun with whatever you are trying to accomplish, whenever you find out what it is.
