It's going to be a civil war in Europe. So, no, they won't be using nukes on themselves.
Bombing Syria or elsewhere won't end bombings in London, Paris, Munich and elsewhere by homegrown jihadis and the communities that support them. Only expulsion from those countries will.
Which is why I think that the native European populations will eventually have to rise up unless there is some kind of Enlightenment in Islam (fat chance).
Just look at how bad things are in and around Israel. It's one big armed camp with walls everywhere to isolate the Muslim population. And STILL they are having all of these lone wolf attacks by Muslims with cars and knives.

The French dumped thousands of Algerian rebels out of planes on the way to Paris and were known for cutting the throats of French collaborators.
Pushed into a corner I know that the Europeans will make a hard choice and take the fight to where ever it takes them; Muslim enclaves in France, Germany, and England or Syria but more likely Tehran. Even Mecca could be an ultimate target. In for a penny, in for a pound. (English idiom)
Not necessary to go nuclear locally but Europeans do have a history of having their police go to the machine gun for simple crimes. Think of what they would do to suspected terrorists.
