Think about the likelyhood of this - >>>"gradually transitioning to balanced islam / christian state"<<< Not very likely, but not impossible. Now think about how some major playes will see this. How will Russia see rising Islam in Europe ? Will they then feel surronded ? How will China see rising Islam in Europe ? As a destabalizing force ? Does China want a very paranoid Russia (as opposed to a moderately paranoid Russia ?) How will the US see this ? Putting aside the US urging the EU to admit Turkey, would a partialy Islamized Europe serve US interests ? Two of these players - US and Russia - have a demonstrated ability to stir things up in Europe, on issues from defense posture to color revolutions and counter revolutions. Finally, I think some (not all) of the European elites have decided the the Islamic push has gone far enough, and they will be looking for ways to stop it or roll it back. The elites may look for some incident, like a version of the Taj hotels attacks occuring in Europe, to mobilize opinion for some "temporary" measures... I expect the European governments will also offer more cash incentives for people to move out of Europe, especially the unemployed and under employed.
