Sure they all have differences, but the most important aspect is the same: The current dominant group does not relish the new groups taking over. The rest is secondary.

So Jew's want Israel to stay Jewish, Europeans want Europe to stay European, and a significant fraction of Americans want America to stay English. To greater or lessor degrees, all these groups are or will put up a fight to achieve these goals.

Two more generations of current trends, and France and Spain will have Muslim majorities or very large minorities

Only if they don't do something to reduce the reproduction of their Muslim minorities. Don't think that can't happen. Suppose a country passes a law which says that all ethnic groups are accorded equal reproductive rights. No racism there. But this would allow one to force high reproduction groups to reduce their rates to match that of other groups. Clearly very intrusive by current standards, but perhaps not a couple of decades from now. For that matter, the law could state equal reproductive rights with a 25 years backwards starting point, so groups that over reproduced in the last generation, would have a spike down for a few generations, until things evened out. Nothing saying that can't happen either, but it is a bit harder to defend against a charge of racism IMO.
