A fifth outcome scenario

Mandatory Integration. European countries will define their sets of values and what they stand for, and demand every citizen and every new immigrant loyalty to the state and to fit into these standards, by law. Schools will educate children from an early age values of freedom and equality, what is good citizenship in a democratic country, and demand all pupils and teachers to implement that in behaviour, dressing code and attitude towards individuals and the country they live in. All these should be enforced rather than complementary.

Just like it is done in the US, Canada, Australia, NZ, Israel, and any other immigration country with self esteem that cherishes its freedoms and wants to maintain it. Europe still has a hope, a slim one to my opinion, but it is there. The nature of their future absolutely depends on how fast they wake up.
