You are quite correct. The problem, of course, is that our history is not that of Islam. There is no particular reason they should follow the same path Christendom did.
It is also reasonable to point out that the T of W ended (more or less) 125 years of pretty continuous religious warfare in most of Europe. It was not due to a sudden outbreak of religious tolerance in Europe, it was the result of complete exhaustion on all sides. People were just tired of fighting over religion.
It is also notable that religious warfare is not a root principle of the Christian faith, in fact it is an obvious perversion of it, while it most definitely is a root principle of Islam.
BTW, “monotheists” is a better expression of what the Almohads were about than “unitarians.” They were extremist monotheists.
