Why did Mohammad cleanse Kabaa of its idols?

Dear Sir,

I read an article by you on the internet on the Daudi Bohra community
(in which article you have also said in a tone of conclusion that the
Kanchi Shankaracharya is "regarded to be involved in murder and
embezzlement of funds" ) and I could see that you are knowledgeable on
matters concerning Islam. I have the following query:

Why did Prophet Mohammed cleanse Kabaa of its idols? Was he not thereby
destroying the religious beliefs of others? Could he not simply have
built a new mosque for his new religion? Instead did he not choose to
begin his religion by an act of intolerence of other religions, which
has since been the hallmark of Islam?

I look forward to your e-mail response to my query.
