Not trying to dispute... I just don't get it...
It means that the proportion of native, largely non-muslim germans will drop by 12 millions, while the proportion of muslim germans will increase due to immigration, higher birthrate and conversion. Such a trend as been underway for quite some time already in Europe, and if you project this trend 40 years in the future, the largest minority group in Germany will be the muslims, making effectively the country a muslim State. The rest of Europe is following pretty much the same demographic decline, although the rise of Islam is not common everywhere, mostly in northen and western Europe, and England.

As of now, the only reason why Europe is still growing demographicaly is because of immigration, because of the replacement of the native population by foreign ones. Yet, like this article, and common sense, argue, immigration is a false solution to the problem. So the question is, why is this demographic shift allowed to happen anyway? No nation-State has anything to gain from becoming a heterogenous cleft country. Immigration is a cultural and economical advantage, yes, but not an end in itself.
