Can Europe resist being drawn into a clash with Islam after the 3/11 bombings in Madrid?

Yes. Europeans have shown that they are capable of fighting back against terror while staying tolerant toward Muslims.

No. The coming security crackdown will make European-Muslim relations much worse.

Not sure. But if there is a clash of civilizations between Europeans and Muslims, the terrorists have won a major victory.
