What is this insistence on monotheism? Worship God in only this form or else! Sounds like an Abrahamic version of Hinduism. We don't want to start bending to suit the middle eastern terror religions. The whole idea of monotheism is a crock. Man makes God in his image, so the idea that God is of only one form is flawed. An Advanced Alien civilization will depict God in their form not like a human. Belief in oneness is not the same as monotheism. The whole idea from the Mono's of insisting on their way or the highway is what started religious conflict.
What if I insist that you should worship God in only my form? That creates a scenario of perpetual conflict (i.e. Islam and Christianity). We are a part and parcel of Brahman.

is not monotheism per-se because recognize the existence of other gods.
The difference it could be one of terminology-what is the difference between mono and oneness?
Not the fact that they see their religion as superior start the war(though this idea could add fuel),but their incapacity to listen other ideas.
