No, iconoclasm is not restricted to Christianity by any means. By definition, it is a deliberate destruction within the religious icons and beliefs of any culture - not just Christianity.
Iconoclasts were individuals who opposed the use of religious icons in Christianity, believing that such images led to idolatry and detracted from true worship of God. This movement gained significant momentum during the Byzantine Empire, particularly in the 8th and 9th centuries, leading to the destruction of many religious images. Iconoclasts argued that the veneration of icons was incompatible with the teachings of the Bible, advocating for a more abstract form of worship. The conflict between iconoclasts and iconodules (those who supported the use of icons) ultimately shaped the theological and artistic landscape of Christianity.

If there is no space on the desktop for icons, the icons will run off the screen. Thus the icons will not be displayed. If you use up the space, you could delete icons you don't use, resize the icons, increase the screen resolution, or create a folder on the desktop to move your less commonly used icons to.
