You bring a maulvi in between God and man.
Hinduism doesnt emphasize on maulvis or priests.
Maulvis and Priests are Human beings.
All Humans have the six evils: Kaama (Lust), Krodha (Anger), Lobha (Narrow midedness), Mada(Arrogance), Moha (Love) and Matsara (Jealous).
Thats why we cannot treat Maulvis as Gods or messengers of Gods.
The Idol that we worship embodies all the Good virtues of the God. Since we cannot see a God, the Idol symbolizes God and people pay their respect for the same.
Hinduism, though Old, simplifies worshipping God.
There are no complexities. There are no ONE TRUTHs like Islam. Monotheistic religions like Islam are doomed by their very nature of One truth.
