In muslim parlance, idol-worshippers are referred to as "but-parast".
Someone mentioned that this term "but" was derived from word "buddha", and originally "but-parast" simply meant - "followers of buddha", and was used to refer to the Buddhists, rather than Hindus - even probably during pre-Islamic days.
Do any members have some information about this?
