I don't think that will work.
First, even if they managed to gain such power in Europe, they would have to deal with terrorism from the autochthons.
You have examples of European opposing government with terrorism over way less infringements of their rights.
Take the Basque, or North Ireland, or the political terrorism we sometimes have in Italy.
Second, immigrants from Muslim countries really suck at keeping a low profile. At least over here. As a mass they tend to be proud and stand out a lot and seem to love reminding you that they are different.
So they are going to lose the "immigrate and conquer" battle against the Chinese who, on the other hand, are very quiet and extremely respectful of any local tradition. Basically invisible.
Do not look directly at the operational end of the device.
