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.

well then how many Islam parties are there in Europe? and how successful are they?

Looking back at the European election 2014. In Germany, 1% of the votes would have been enough to claim a seat in the parliament.
How many Islam parties participated? Zero, despite having around 4m Muslims living here. Sure, not all 4m are able to vote, but they only needed 300,000. Easily achievable.
Similar case in Berlin. About 7% Muslims, but again there wasn't even a party who tried to get into the state parliament at the last election.
