The reason is simply that Allah encourages us to preach to non-muslims. However, we, moderate muslims, would not be so stupid to destroy idols in the temples since this could cause adversed effect in preaching to non-muslims. Non-muslims would certainly reject to accept our muslim religion as a result of our stupidity work in destroying idols in temples.
For muslim extremists, they emphasize on destroying idols and non-muslims and they do not emphasize on preaching. Even if many non-muslims would strongly be against muslim religions, they carry on in destroying without caring about the feeling of non-muslims and whether it could badly affect the acceptability of muslims from non-muslims' point of view.
