Nope, this reasoning does not work because Muslims are not just proud of Islam, they are proud of the history of Islam in India which is a shame. There is a big difference. Arabs can afford to forget their past or look in contempt at their past because there are no remnants of their victims in that continent. That is not so in India. Hindus will always be here to remind you of your past and it will be a mark you carry because you choose to by not apologizing.
This is the thing you need to consider when you try to compare between Hinduism and Islam, Hinduism may occasionally produce a bad apple, Islam occasionally produces a good apple. All Hindu empires were benevolent with very few exceptions of violence. This is the opposite of Islamic empires.
See this symbol? The black is Islamic empires and Islams history with very little good coming out of it, the white is the Hindu empires and Hindu history with very little bad coming out of it.
