Your point is meaningless if they expected they would be able to slaughter the lot of them in a glorious military victory over the infidel.
Methinks you downplay the significance of the word "if" in that sentence.
Countries invade other countries all the time - without having any intention to "slaughter the lot of them". 1400 years of mostly peaceful coexistence would suggest their endgame was not genocide. But I have no doubt you'll once again cite the 1400 year old Banu Qurayza alleged episode as some sort of slam dunk proof.

If Hitler had established his thousand year Caliphate and coerced northern Europe to convert to Nazism in a program of rape and pillage, would you now be defending Nazis as an ethno religious minority that we are not allowed to compare to Muslims?
Why is it that whenever this topic is raised you are always, without fail, reduced to making these meaningless hypotheticals? Why not, instead of resorting to pathetic "what-iferies", you simply acknowledge the fact that in the actual real world that we live in, the attempted thousand year reich ended up having zero resemblence to the enduring musim world today?
And besides, we are talking about their respective treatment of jews, not their respective rise to power - so don't try and shift the goalposts.
If Hitler and his descendants had spend 1400 years *NOT* trying to wipe out the entire jewish population, and instead allowed and encouraged them to prosper culturally, and play a prominent role in the advancement of his Reich's scientific advancements - you might have a point.
Or did I miss the concentration camps and gas chambers in the caliphate?
