On the contrary - crushing all muslims is all too feasible

Beating the Fascists of Germany and Italy and the God Emperor worshipping militarists of Japan was not feasible without exceptional effort and willingness by the Allies to spill as much German, Italian and Japanese blood as was necessary to convince them to desist and surrender control of their homelands.

Beating back the Islamofascists can be a relatively conservative blood sparing military exercise as has occurred in Afghanistan and Iraq and around the state of Israel; or it can be a singularly bloody all out military exercise as will occur if the Islamofascists succeed in inflicting real punishment on the civilized world or if they become a real threat as opposed to a nuisance as they are now.

The US, Russia, China, Great Britain and probably France and Israel can each in a few hours put an end to all problems stemming from Islam for a few hundred years if they only so choose. A couple of dozen other nations can probably build the means to do so in a few months with relatively little economic effort.

The main problem is that the vast mass of Muslims do not believe the infidels they scorn are capable of losing patience or becoming truly afraid and going tribal in response to the tribal attacks that the radicals are making on the rest of the world in their name.
