Western Europe due to low birth rate and other effects will face a dramatic change in the ethnic and cultural make up of the society. It seems to me their leaders can't talk about pro immigration or anti immigration anymore but face with the most possible:
How to live in a multicultural society?
With more migrations from the Middle East and Northern Africa the Western regions of Europe will face with significant ethnographic, cultural changes. Can a hybrid society made by Christian&Atheistic citizens and Islam be possible?
During the Islam conquest of Iberia, the Andalusian region became a hybrid society of Native, Arabic and Jewish culture and these cultures did mix with each, so the possibility of less radical Islam and Christianity to form together and make a hybrid society is quite possible especially with mixed marriages.
The society of al-Andalus was made up of three main religious groups: Christians, Muslims, and Jews. The Muslims, though united on the religious level, had several ethnic divisions, the main being the distinction between the Berbers and the Arabs. Mozarabs were Christians who had long lived under Muslim rule, adopting many Arabic customs, art, and words, while still maintaining their Christian rituals and their own Romance languages. Each of these communities inhabited distinct neighborhoods in the cities. In the 10th century a massive conversion of Christians took place, and muladies (Muslims of native Iberian origin), formed the majority of Muslims. The Muladies had spoken in a Romance dialect of Latin called Mozarabic while increasingly adopting the Arabic language, which eventually evolved into the Andalusi Arabic in which Muslims, Jews, and Christians became monolingual in the last surviving Muslim state in the Iberian Peninsula, the Emirate of Granada (1232-1492). Eventually, the Muladies, and later the Berber tribes, adopted an Arabic identity like the majority of subject people in Egypt, the Levant, Mesopotamia, and North Africa. Muladies, together with other Muslims, comprised eighty percent of the population of al-Andalus by around 1100.[23][24]
The Jewish population worked mainly as tax collectors, in trade, or as doctors or ambassadors. At the end of the 15th century there were about 50,000 Jews in Granada and roughly 100,000 in the whole of Islamic Iberia.[25]
