As the question states what would be the treatment of Native Americans by people of different religions? I am not talking about probabilities here, am I interested in how people of different would the approach of non-Christians on the natives? As we don't have any examples of a non-Christian coloniser of the New World, that option is intriguing. Would Islamic people look on Native Americans be the same as how different branches of Christianity, or different? Would buddhist colonisers or clergy incorporate local gods in their pantheon of gods, and Hindu colonisers or clergy or view the gods of, for example Aztecs or Maya as just different images of their gods? How would Chinese' and Japanese' colonisers and clergy's view of them? Or by West-African pagans?
