The premise of your question is invalid.
Assume it's 1943 and change just one word in your question: "Can you suggest an approach that does not turn those Germans into enemies just because of the circumstances of their birth?"
Now do you see how silly your question is?

It's a bit disingenuous to accuse me of "invalid premises," when your own assumptions are demonstrably false.
It's not 1943. If you want to use the Hitler analogy, today's circumstances are a lot more like 1935, except the Allies have already challenged and confronted Hitler, and the General Staff has not thrown in with Hitler. (This is, btw, supposedly what would have occurred had the Allies responded militarily to Hitler's early moves.)
The question is: do you want to declare the rest of Germany's population to be "the enemy," and thereby drag them into the war?
It is pointless to torture that particular analogy any further. Rather, it is more useful to assess the nature of the Muslim world, and the place of the Islamofascists within it.
One important facet of the Islamofascist strategy is to encourage a general sense of "Islam vs. the world." They want us to consider all Muslims as belonging to a homogeneous mass, all of whom are enemies. And they want Muslims to believe this, too. That way (so the reasoning goes), any small war involving the West vs. a faction of Muslims can be leveraged into a global holy war. This is apparently one of the key beliefs of Ahneedajihad's "12th Imam" sect.
The whole "Islam is naziism" approach actually plays directly into the hands of folks like bin Laden or the Iranian mullahs.
But the fact is, most Muslims are not Islamofascists, nor are they likely to become such. There is no need to fight a holy war against them, nor is there any rational reason to push them into corners where they believe that a holy war is the only possible response.
Gen. Petraeus has demonstrated that the key to defeating Islamofascism is to teach normal Muslims the value of living in a modern, civil society. And the Islamofascists have helped him along by their own actions.
