Worshipping Idols, statues yet not acknowledging, after all these are all rocks and stones?
While Performing Hajj and Umrah it is one of the rukins to kiss Sang-e-Aswat (Black Stone) which is said to have come from Heaven. It is also a duty to stone Satan (Shaitan). When you perform these two acts only then your Hajj & Umrah may be accepted. That is the belief and preachings by scholars. Kissing a stone and stoning a rock are fundamental acts for the pilgramage. Every Muslim has a wish to kiss the barrier of the grave of Prophet Mohammad which is made of Marble, some people do Sajda (bow their forehead) in front of the grave, although it is forbidden in Islam not to offer Sajda but to Allah (God); yet people do it. Khana Kaaba, the covered walls, being the centre of Islam to which direction Muslims pray, is also made of stones. Prophet Mohammad wore a stone called Chalcedony, a form of Agate, Arabs call it "Aquique", not sure whether it was a ring or necklace; some claim it was a ’seal’ inscribed with his name, the other way round. Depending on stones why accuse others?
the kaabah is just a placemark where all muslim face when praying..worshipping idols? i think theres a jesus statue in churches and not jesus only theres the mary statue and other saints and yet you dare accused muslim to worship idols? don try to deny this i know that christians worship these idols they stand infront of jesus statue and then pray to him…can you give any excuses to say otherwise? i know about this matter long time ago but i didnt bring up this question to R&S coz i respect the christians.

That is as reasonable as the rest of the religions. Heck, at least a rock is real, unlike what the Christians worship.

Yes, people respect usually are rock and stones. Without it, they will respect to none. If you tell god existing everywhere, they will scare to commit sin. Religious is a kind of medicine to difference illness. What virus need what medicine. If you are perfectly, you will not need medicine at all.
