Why are there absolutely no Temples in Afghanistan, in Turkestan, in West and Central Asia?

Why are there absolutely no Buddhist temples in Afghanistan, in Turkestan, in West and Central Asia? Nor Hindu, Zoroastrian or Manichaen temples, for that matter?

"The Musalman invaders sacked the Buddhist Universities of Nalanda, Vikramshila, Jagaddala, Odantapuri to name only a few. They raised to the ground Buddhist monasteries with which the country was studded. The monks fled away in thousands to Nepal, Tibet and other places outside India. A very large number were killed outright by the Muslim commanders. How the Buddhist priesthood perished by the sword of the Muslim invaders has been recorded by the Muslim historians themselves. Summarizing the evidence relating to the slaughter of the Buddhist Monks perpetrated by the Musalman General in the course of his invasion of Bihar in 1197 AD, Mr. Vincent Smith says, "....Great quantities of plunder were obtained, and the slaughter of the 'shaven headed Brahmans', that is to say the Buddhist monks, was so thoroughly completed, that when the victor sought for someone capable of explaining the contents of the books in the libraries of the monasteries, not a living man could be found who was able to read them. 'It was discovered,' we are told, 'that the whole of that fortress and city was a college, and in the Hindi tongue they call a college Bihar.' "Such was the slaughter of the Buddhist priesthood perpetrated by the Islamic invaders. The axe was struck at the very root. For by killing the Buddhist priesthood, Islam killed Buddhism. This was the greatest disaster that befell the religion of the Buddha in India...."

There can be no doubt that the fall of Buddhism in India was due to the invasions of the Musalmans." Islam came out as the enemy of the 'But'. The word 'But' as everybody knows, is the Arabic word and means an idol. Thus the origin of the word indicates that in the Moslem mind idol worship had come to be identified with the Religion of the Buddha.the Buddhist with their Buddha-statues were considered as the idol-worshippers par excellence. To the Muslims, they were one and the same thing. The mission to break the idols thus became the mission to destroy Buddhism. Islam destroyed Buddhism not only in India but where ever it went. Before Islam came into being Buddhism was the religion of Bactria, Parthia, Afghanistan, Gandhar, and Chinese Turkestan, as it was of the whole of Asia.

Islam chased Buddhism out of India. In West and Central Asia, it has wiped out Buddhism together with Nestorianism, Zorastrianism, Manicheism, and whatever other religions it encountered. The Buddhist drew the wrath of every Muslim but-shikan (idol-breaker), even where they hadn’t offered resistance against the Muslim armies because of their doctrine of non-violence.

As a reminder of the Buddhist past of Central Asia, the city name Bukhara in Uzbekistan is nothing but a corruption of vihara, i.e. a Buddhist monastery.

So when has the Muslim community taken or accepted responsibility for the destruction of Buddhism in West, South and Central Asia? Or even Zoroastrianism for that matter? Does the Muslim community even accept the fact that it Was Islam that destroyed the Buddhist Universities of Nalanda, Vikramshila, Jagaddala and Odantapuri in South Asia? If it was not Islam then can they tell me what the religion of Mohammed Khilji was?
