It is already too late, according to some calculations - there will be a major shift in Muslims' numbers in Europe from those already living there, and by 2035 we might very well find that Islam is the biggest religion. This is the so called 'Islamization of Europe' described by Geert Wilders and others.
Many Islamists in the UK make no secret at all of their desire to make some, let's say, 'substantial changes' - with the decline of Christianity and fashionable apathy towards having any faith, Islam will by default become be the main religion. The incredible number of mosques which have been constructed or are in the pipeline bears witness to this expansion. A very large mosque was even built in Rome in 1995 - under a km away from St Peter's and the Vatican. It will likely rise to power under the guise of being 'just another religion' - when in fact it is a deeply political movement.
The Islamists are quite clear in what they say the want, and Qatar's own highly esteemed Qaradawi mentions cultural jihad as part of the struggle. And while the Europeans tend to ignore such warnings, you may be sure the Islamists mean what they say - they usually do.
And on the other side, the liberals who bandy around the term 'racist' as the *ultimate* insult will do nothing to resist, for fear of having to call themselves 'racist' or intolerant neo-colonials/imperialists/whatever. As for 'limiting immigration', well, that's no more likely to happen now than at any other time when it's been discussed in the past - and why would the Euros really want to limit it? On their own merits, many individuals are deserving.
The only country that stands a chance, IMHO, is France, which at least has had the courage to say - this is a secular country and we intend to keep it so.
