What is wrong with smashing the idols?

So long as they're yours, you do what you will with them. If they aren't, and more importantly if they are ancient and historically significant, we're going to have a problem.
What if I want to destroy the idols more than you want to worship them?

Who cares how badly you want to destroy them? If they're ancient, then they're the heritage of all humanity. They don't belong to you and it's hubris to think you have the right to destroy or damage them. Such people should be executed.

So you value History. What if I don't?

Again, so what? That would make you my enemy and I wish you death. (Not you, personally, but people in general who are like that.) There will always be filthy, degraded types who don't value that which is numinous and greater and grander than them. Others who have Virtue need to be on the lookout for them. They are plagues, like with the Taliban and ISIS.

Just like my Qur'an.
