Well, it depends on if the dominant Islam is really strict. What could happen is that it will be the step towards modernization of the religion. Maybe mixing with western ideals in Europe will stop the rise of extremism, eventually. It may takes years or decades though.
The trend seems to be in the opposite direction. Muslims from Western countries have been a big part of the rise of the Islamic State.
Saying Merry Christmas “is worse than fornication and drinking alcohol and killing someone, because you are approving of the biggest crime ever committed by the children of Adam’s sin."
A popular shopkeeper was stabbed to death by another Muslim in a "religiously prejudiced" attack hours after posting an Easter message on Facebook to "my beloved Christian nation".
Asad Shah, 40, a devout Muslim originally from the Pakistani city of Rabwah, had his head stamped on during a savage attack, according to one eyewitness.
Around four hours earlier the victim wrote online: "Good Friday and a very Happy Easter, especially to my beloved Christian nation.
"Let's follow the real footstep of beloved holy Jesus Christ and get the real success in both worlds."
A Muslim showing love to Christians? That's a death sentence.
Personally, no, even though I have an Aunt that married a Muslim man, and seeing how she changed. He has her and their daughters thinking they are Pakistani even though they were all born here. He has them dressed in the full garb and everthing.

And I agree, even my moderate friends believed that Islam was superior

Jesus is mentioned more times in the Quran than Mohamed is.
In the first link, what should be said is that congratulating someone on polytheism is worse than congratulating someone for murder. Why? The most heinous crime a person can commit is praying to someone other than God, it is worse than murder.
Love for the Prophet Jesus should encompass practicing what he practiced and follow *HIS* teachings. The majority of Christians today really follow Roman paganism and their prophet is Paul.
Do you know how many pagan religions celebrated the birth of some Idol on December 25th?
In regards to the latter story, I'm not sure what all happened there but we should love and want the best for people. Minorities under the Caliphates over the years included Christians, Jews and pagans...none of which were outlawed and in fact under the Ottoman Uthmani Caliphate Christians were a majority at one point and were some of it's best fighters.
