Islam is an old and well-established religion with a Billion followers world-wide. You can no more exterminate it than you can exterminate sunshine or air. Other people have tried to exterminate other, much smaller, religions in the past -- more accurately, exterminate followers of those religions, with disastrous consequences for those who tried. It simply can't be done.
More's to the point, it shouldn't be done.
There is nothing inherently evil about any religion, including Islam. Most religions have a segment of extreme followers who do awful things in the name of their faith, Islam isn't unique in this regard. Have you ever wondered why Islamic extremism is much more prevalent in Europe than in America?
Large segments of the Islamic community are isolated and segregated in Europe, both physically and economically. They have their own, often economically disadvantaged, communities. In America, our Muslim citizens are well-integrated both into our neighborhoods and in our work places.
If you want to remove extremism, in any group, your first step is to embrace their differences and offer inclusion into society. Normalization and assimilation are the tools to prevent extremism, not vilification and segregation.
This post shows that you know next to nothing about Islam in America. Entire books with hundreds of footnoted sources are written about what you say doesn't exist.
You say >>
"In America, our Muslim citizens are well-integrated both into our neighborhoods and in our work places." FALSE! There are dozens of Muslim-only communities (enclaves) in America, >>
1.
Dearborn Michigan: Over 100,000 Muslims, 45% of the city has settled into our first ‘no-go’ zone. The city and police officials have been sued in many cases that allege discrimination “against Christians” effectively by the authorities applying Sharia law.
Dearborn-Dar-al-Islam, (a place governed by Islamic Sharia law).

Islamberg, Hancock, NY - Islamberg is the 70-acre headquarters of Muslims of the Americas, the International Quranic Open University and the United Muslim Christian Forum. These organizations are led by a radical cleric in Pakistan named Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani.
Islamberg originally had a connection to the Muslim Brotherhood

Gwynn Oak,
Baltimore, Maryland, consisting of Muslim immigrants and African-American converts. The project is led by John Yahya Cason, director of the Islamic Education and Community Development Initiative. Cason explained that the neighborhood is a response to the problem that “Muslim communities are ruled by Western societal tenets, many of which clash with Islamic norms.” In his opinion, there is a need for communities with “the totality of the essential components of Muslim social, economic, and political structure.” As such, the Gwynn Oak enclave follows specific moral rules based on Islam and people there speak Arabic. On September 13, 2009, the construction of its three-story mosque
began. Approximately 400 Muslims now live in the vicinity.

Islamic Center for Human Excellence,
Little Rock, Arkansas - receives funding from the United Arab Emirates. In August 2004, it was
granted permission to build a Muslim neighborhood in Little Rock, Arkansas, complete with a mosque, school, and 22 homes; it would not allow the presence of alcohol. The goal was for Muslims to find an area to escape the alleged crime and depravity of American life, although the imam behind the effort said that non-Muslims are welcome to join. (if they become Muslims)

Holy Islamville, York County, SC - A 2004 report funded by the Justice Department identifies York County, S.C. as a “training compound” for Muslims of the Americas.
[3] A 2006 report for law enforcement on the organization also said that York County, S.C. is home to one of at least seven “covert paramilitary training compounds.”
[4] In 2010, nearby residents told a local newspaper that they had seen armed guards patrolling Islamville and that they sometimes heard gunfire at night.
[5] The sound of gunfire coming from Islamville was recorded in November 2009, March 2011 and May 2011. A local resident reported the sounds of explosions on January 26, 2012 and April 6, 2012.

Secondly, Islam is not a religion. This view is helf by most people around the world, and even some entire nations (ex Italy)
Italy: Islam Not Recognized as a Religion — Denied Religious Tax Status
Third, Islam's terrorism (aka Jihad) is not just a segment of extreme followers who do awful things in the name of their faith. It is the "faith" (as you call it) itself. Islam is the Koran, and Islamic terrorism is preached in the Koran from cover to cover, in addition to many immoral and illegal (under US law) things wife-beating, sex discrimination, pedophilia, rape, slavery, animal cruelty, etc.
Fourth, Islam cannot be embraced. To do so is to embrace immorality and crime of the highest order.
Fifth, Islam cannot be normalized or assimilated to American culture. This is like trying to assimilate fire and water. The USA is a NATION. Islam rejects all concepts of nation except for one >> the Umma (worldwide community of Muslims). This a Muslim in Denmark has more affinity to another Muslim in Russia than to a fellow Dane. A Muslim in Mexico has more kinship to a Muslim in India, than a fellow Mexican. True Muslims cannot be nationalized, other than the Umma.
