the 4th kingdom?

Shalom.
Are we presently witnessing the 4th kingdom coming together? Does the wave of Muslim immigration into Europe fit the prophecy as recorded? Is this Ishmael and Esau trying to join forces to fight their common enemy Israel (whether the actual individuals realize it or not)? Or could the imagery present this strong figure standing in this miry clay, and it is as if the clay is "seeping" up into the feet of the image (like fire ants), destroying it from below, when the Stone from the Heavens crashes down from Above?
From MKJV:
Dan 2:40 And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron. Since iron crushes and smashes all things; and as the iron that shatters all these, it will crush and shatter.
Dan 2:41 And as to that which you saw: the feet and toes, part of potters' clay and part of iron; the kingdom shall be divided. But there shall be in it the strength of the iron, because you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.
Dan 2:42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle.
Dan 2:43 And as you saw iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mix themselves with the seed of men. But they shall not cling to one another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
Dan 2:44 And in the days of these kings, the God of Heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. And the kingdom shall not be left to other peoples, but it shall crush and destroy all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
Dan 2:45 Because you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it crushes the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what shall occur after this. And the dream is certain, and its meaning is sure.
What say you?
Sincerely,
Tom
