Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain Islam in Europe, relay history, demographics, diversity and contemporary debates from academic and demographic sources with positions attributed and figures checked against current data, describe the country topics, and distinguish Islam in Europe from Islam globally, religion in individual countries and Islamism as a political movement, without taking sides.
The presence, history and communities of Islam across Europe, from long-established Muslim populations in the Balkans, Russia and the Caucasus to communities formed by twentieth-century migration in Western Europe, with country topics the registry aliases name such as Islam in Albania, Bulgaria and Germany and historical periods of Islam in Albania; European Muslims are diverse in ethnicity, tradition and observance, and questions of integration, secularism, discrimination and religious accommodation are debated across countries, with the positions of communities, governments and others attributed. Figures should be checked against current sources.
