Muslims attempted to destroy it a number of times. Failure to do so does not mean there was no attempt. There were several over the centuries

Maybe Muhammed got the idea from Abraham who is an important prophet in Islam.

These are claims and not evidences, the article itself says that Muslims left no evidence
to prove that the site was of a temple, so it's just a claim.

When you say they did it because of Islam then Islam was in Egypt 1500 years ago
and not now.
No relation between Islam and destruction of the idols.

Are you guessing of what had happened?
Fearvag...
Here...
1. Muhammad is the prophet of Islam
2. Muslims are called to follow the sunnah of Muhammad
3. Muhammad smashed idols
comprenez-vous?

Do you have an evidence that he did?
Do you have a verse in the quran which instructed prophet Muhammad to smash the idols
or instructing Muslims to smash and destroy the idols, the temples..etc
The temple has been mentioned in the Puranas including the Kashi Khanda (section) of Skanda Purana. The original Vishwanath temple was destroyed by the army of Qutb-ud-din Aibak in 1194 CE, when he defeated the Raja of Kannauj as a commander of Mohammad Ghori. The temple was rebuilt by a Gujarati merchant during the reign of Delhi's Sultan Iltutmish (1211-1266 CE). It was demolished again during the rule of either Hussain Shah Sharqi (1447-1458) or Sikandar Lodhi (1489-1517). Raja Man Singh built the temple during Mughal emperor Akbar's rule, but orthodox Hindus boycotted it as he had let the Mughals marry within his family. Raja Todar Mal further re-built the temple with Akbar's funding at its original site in 1585.[4]
In 1669 CE, Emperor Aurangzeb destroyed the temple and built the Gyanvapi Mosque in its place.[5] The remains of the erstwhile temple can be seen in the foundation, the columns and at the rear part of the mosque.[6]

Ahadith are not good enough now?

You've turned FearGod into a Quranist.
Umm the wikipedia site I linked lists numerous cases of Muslim rulers explicitly destroying Hindu and Buddhist temples in South Asia with over 250 citations and references. What more do you want?

Taliban doesn't represent Islam, Afghanistan was in the hand of Muslims 1500 years ago,
destroying the statues at our recent days doesn't mean it was because of Islam.

Compared to the quran the hadith has no value.
Qur'an makes little sense taken on its own. I am pretty sure you know this.

Many Hindus converted to Islam during that era, if they chose to build a mosque in the site
of the temple then why you see it as a problem, in Saudi Arabia the polytheists converted to
Islam and of course all ancient temples has no reason to exist, I can't see a problem with
converting the stones from one building to another one.
