What one sees is that they 'tolerate' (in the christoislamic sense) the monotheistic people of the book: christians and jews. This meant Jizyah and persecutions.
Then coming upon Persia, they genocide the Parsees even though these people had a holy Book and were monotheists. At this point, 'fire-worshippers' was used as an insult.
Then islamists meet the people who didn't worship an element (fire), but showed respect to statues: the 'butparast'. Islamists beginning hurling abuse against these 'idolators'. Buddhist conversion-and-genocides from western Asia onwards.
Then, my goodness, they came to the Kafirest of all the Kafirs: the Hindus of Hindusthan. Not only did these infidels worship elements and statues, they had countless false gods! That was it, too much heathenness for islam to stomach. Numero Uno in islamic no-no's was The Kafiristan of Hindusthan. Invading islamists recognised the Buddhists in India, massacred, persecuted and chased them away. They remembered from old of the Hindus - polytheistic idolatrous infidels like the ancestral Arabians had been. Well, there was no greater punishment than what islam had already dealt to the Butparasts, so Hindus were afflicted with the same love from the Religion of Peace.
