Europe as a security risk

The US State Department has said that "unemployment, discrimination and lack of integration among Europe’s Muslim communities had created an "audience" open to extremist messages" and that this could constitute a security risk to the US. German interior minister Wolfgang Schauble came up with a "ja, vell ve can't help it" in response. If Europe stays on this road, don't be surprised to Dutch nationals needing visas to visit the USA while Czechs and Poles won't.

In the meantime, governments should be importing more qualified and talented people. They boost economies, and, in turn, that brings more jobs. More jobs and
anti-discrimination laws with teeth... but is that too Anglo-Saxon for the Continent? I hope not, because that's what is needed.
