By Article 42 7 of the EU Treaty, the EU took on the character of a defensive alliance for the first time; that is, in the case of an armed attack on one of the Member States, the other must make him "all in their power assistance and support". The wording of this provision goes beyond the mutual commitment of NATO member countries from the Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which requires only to support the scope of the measures considered necessary.

A great write-up. It's noteworthy that when the Greeks were kicking off over austerity measures that German police were sent in to bolster the Greek police forces (if I'm not mistaken).
That said, if muslim ghettos in multiple cities in each country started going ape-shit at roughly the same time (either planned or in a domino effect) then there would be no way whatsoever that the police forces would be large enough to handle it.
The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.
