Should Europe fear Islamism or embrace it

This is a serious question, do most European countries actually lack the mechanisms to separate religious law and state law? In the U.S. there can't be any laws based on religious beliefs and federal law always takes precedence over religious doctrine.

 

State law goes above religious law in Europe although some exceptions have been made for religions. Point is that a state law in Europe could be annualized and reformed by a religious based law if there are enough votes, for a political party given the fact that the percentage of muslims in Europe is rising, mostly low educated north Africans or people from the middle-east a Muslim party could do very well and make the scenario which I stated above happen.

But...that's a long way off isn't it? I mean...only like 5% of people in the Netherlands are Muslims...and what percentage of those are even pro sharia law? Also, doesn't the Netherlands have some sort of protection from religious based law?
