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.

Upon further investigation, I found a definition allowing for religious groups to be included BUT in an attempt to make this wonderful language of ours more exact, I propose the word: THEOLOCIDE.
Then you and I shall have the honor of being the first two humans to have used the term THEOLOCIDE in a direct conversation, while the others on the thread to have overheard it.
Shall it be defined as:
Theocracide - the systematic killing of all people of a specific religous group, or an attempt to do this. It is distinguished as separate from "genocide" by the non-ethnic nature, thereby allowing a meaningful conversion.
