What are your opinions on the threat posed by immigration to certain countries in Western Europe's phenotypes e.g. Sweden, England, France, Spain, Germany, etc.
Are immigrants from Africa and the Middle East at levels to sig. alter the racial character of these countries, and what are your opinions on the influx of Yugoslavians north that Austrians are angered at?
Do you think Europe's population rate will turn around, or continue to decline? What will happen to Europe in the near (and/or distant) future?

I'm probably the least qualified to answer this (since I'm mixed race, and therefore don't really care about racial purity, unless we're talking about breeding animals ;D), I'm not concerned about the effects immigration will have on the Phenotypes of Western & Northern European Phenotypes, I think it'll make for a more racially interesting society (It'll give Europe the Latin American look IMO). I think it would be a shame if there were no more Blondes in the world though ;D (Although, people can always dye their hair blonde, and cosmetics is always improving, and as for genetic engineering lol, that'll probably have a larger effect on the phenotypes than immigration).
I think the level of immigration from Non-European sources is at a sufficient level to significantly alter the racial character of those countries you mentioned. However, if immigration were stopped right now, and the populations just mixed in, I think there would only be a very subtle difference in the look of people from these countries (most people would be about 90% Native 10% Non-Native). Also depends on the country, each european country has quite different sources of immigrants. Germany's minorities are mostly Turkish & East European, so Germany would probably maintain a stronger European look. Whereas in the UK a large proportion of minorities are from less 'European-looking' sources, (mostly South Asian, African, and Caribbean), and therefore the UK would probably end up looking less European-looking.
Western Europe's birth rate is pretty low, Eastern Europe I believe has even lower birth rates. There's no signs of any change, and so far no government in the developed world (i.e. America, Canada, EU, Japan) has saught a solution to drastically change this birth-rate problem (except of course increasing immigration). So I'd say the birth-rate will probably continue to decline, for quite some time (I'd say atleast until 2020). In the distant future I think society will change to encourage larger families to stabilise or increase the population (depending on the intentions of governments). Europes Overall population growth rate will probably level off/increase as Europe receives more immigrants though.

It can only alter at a small level. Same types will segregate and resurface.
Furthermore, most of those immigrants (especially the females) marry people from their own ethnicity.
