Indeed. Europe faces a holocaust which will make the previous one resemble a pajama party by comparison.
It is inevitable. There is no way to stop it, at least no "other path" which will be taken that can prevent it. By the time Europeans aquire the stomach and the will (read: "Triumph of the Will") to deal with Islam, no other solution but a bloodbath will be before them.
We of The West can only hope that the blood which is spilled (which MUST be not only the blood of soldiers, but of women and children as well) is mostly Muslim, rather than European.
Europe's only hope against Islam is to ultimately treat Islam _MORE_ viciously than Islam would treat Europe, if Islam gains the upper hand.
A gruesome thought. But inescapable.

I highly doubt we or Europe will use nukes before Europe is attacked and occupied. Russia and China would have their hands on their triggers. The danger of escalating to MAD would be too great. I think we'll decide to bear the brunt for the moment.
However, when we liberate Europe (late 2030s?), we'll have a pure fusion delivery system, which don't have the radioactive after effects of fission delivery and can be smaller. Also, the atrocities the occupying Islamics will commit will be reason enough to justify a collateral response. Russia might even help some. So the will to use them will be there.
My sketchy timeline is partly based on a Cold War analogy - 40 years from 1950 to win that one = 40 years from 2001 to win this one.
