Islamic idolatry
46 Answers
Islam makes a big play about not bowing down to graven idols. The fact that it forbids representations of Humans and animals etc is well known and there is a lot of criticism towards catholic practices of worhiping at the relics of saints etc.
Yet millons of them crown ito a stadium in Mecca circle a stone building and desperately try to kiss a black stone simply because they believe their phophet did the same.
Is this not a form of idolotry? Is it any different to Catholics worshipping infront of thorn of the supposed "crown of thorns"

And because of my own experience (as I have been there) I can tell you that a security man only stands there during the days of Hajj or Umrah during Ramazan. And the only objective is to keep people moving on so the others can kiss that stone. During other days as it is not really that busy so no one stands there. Then kissing that stone is just Sunnah and therefore not compulsory therefore during busy times many people do not even try.
