I agree totally.Let's just take a look at what happened to Zoroastrians in Iran, something a little distant from us both and so not very personal.
After the Muslim conquest of Persia, Zoroastrians were given dhimmi status and subjected to persecutions; discrimination and harassment began in the form of sparse violence.
Zoroastrians were made to pay an extra tax called Jizya, failing which they were either killed, enslaved or imprisoned. Those paying Jizya were subjected to insults and humiliation by the tax collectors.
Zoroastrians who were captured as slaves in wars were given their freedom if they converted to Islam.
You can read the whole thing here and look up references if you want to. You can also talk to a few Parsis.

And this "dhimmi" thing was not unique to them at all. You can be sure of that.
Sure does.
If you read Milton's Paradise Lost, you will find every Muslim country of today had their own religion. Where did the religions go and how???
