Considering Muhammad’s actions of destroying and supporting the destruction of idols, what rights would polytheists or Hindus have in Islam?

I can't remember where it was but I have never been sure whether the bible promotes universal salvation or not. Wikipedia mentions the verse on Jesus having a narrow gate.
There is one thing I do remember about the Orthodox mass, the honouring of the angels and the icons. It was different to a Roman Catholic mass and similar to a Byzantine Catholic mass, I presume. As someone who believes in the Orishas and still has a connection to some saints, I'd be interested...
What about your animist side? Or is that just an approach to the environment (i.e Jesus redeemed the Earth and the Earth is invested with God's spirit)?
As someone with a Catholic background I learnt to honour the saints through prayers and statues and candles.
Even now with my altar I usually have a statue with a candle and I might use alcohol but only a few times.
Hello Aupmanyav, would you say your beliefs are linked to the maya belief and your aim is to bypass maya and head to Brahman through analytical atheistic streams of Hinduism?
