This is something that happened in India.
They demolished temples and idols of Hindus (1)in their own kingdoms and (2)in the Hindu kingdoms they were at war with.
Does either of the above cases have scriptural justification in Islam? Does Islam encourage Muslims and/or Muslim rulers to destroy idols and places of worship of other religions?
Also, in the above case, are these Muslim rulers considered to be committing Jihad(Holy War)?
Note:The more specific verses are about breaking idols, the better.
