The problem is that if, or rather when, we get civil wars in Western Europe due to Muslim immigration, the front lines will not necessarily be between Muslims vs. Infidels or even Natives vs. Immigrants. There is a cultural and ideological civil war going on in the West, that added with some Islamic fanaticism could lead to physical civil wars. The battle is between those who believe in traditional Western values and nation states and those who believe in Multiculturalism, the UN, international law etc. The last group, which is especially dominant on the Left but which has penetrated deep into the Right, thinks that national sovereignty is at best redundant, at worst evil and "racist." Many of them will genuinely believe that those who reject Muslim immigration are evil, racist bigots, and some of them may side with Muslims to fight for their own ideological project.

Interesting. I have not looked into this issue enough- those that would eradicate the nation state.

-After the Second World War the European idea and its accompanying institutions facilitated the reconstruction on solid foundations of the European nation-state, while also making plausible, imaginable, and even desirable the withering away of this political form. But does 'Europe' today signify the depoliticization of the life of peoples, that is, the increasingly methodical reduction of their collective existence to the activities of civil society and the mechanism of civilization? Or does it instead entail the construction of a new political body, the body of a great, enormous Nation? The construction of Europe has made progress only because of this ambiguity and thus has taken on - as the vector of these two contradictory projects - its character as an imperious, indefinite and opaque movement. Yet this at first rather fortunate ambiguity has become paralyzing and soon risks becoming fatal. The sleepwalker's assurance with which 'Europe' pursues its indefinite extension is the result of its refusal to think about itself comprehensively, that is, to define itself politically.
