I was talking to my friend about the Muslim immigrant birthrate in Europe versus the natives and how it's a threat to Western culture, but he made the counterpoint that he thought Islam would schism like Christianity has, and therefore there's nothing to worry about.

The question is whether Islam will modernize and assimilate to liberal Western culture, not whether it will schism. A schism might even be net harmful--when Christianity schismed, Europe went through over a century of religious warfare.
