Actually, it's not genocide. Genocide is against a race/ethnic background. islam is a political movement, masquerading as a religion. It would more properly be called a purge, a la Stalin, hero of the left.

I'm aware of that-- "gene"...genocide. The word I used in my original post is "exterminate." I think that the problem is that "purge" sounds--these days anyway-- much less evil than "genocide." After all, one purges pipes.
