Kaba was the temple of AL UZZAT n AL LAT two dieties which the people of Mecca reverd at that time. I think so. Any corrections are welcome.

Kaaba is house of Allah, a place of worship (like modern day masjid) re-built by Abraham (Ibrahim). The original house built by Ibrahim never had idols. As the Arabs deviated from Islam, between the time of Abraham and Mohammed the idol worship started. There existed 360 idols symbolising representation of each tribe. Uzzat and Lat were the largest among them.
After Mohammed re-preached Islam, these idols were broken and sanctity of the house was restored. Arabs revereted to worshipping Allah without associating the idols or partners to him.

Boys (both Hindus and Muslims) - First of all there is nothing called "Hinduism " - the name of the religion is "Sanatan Dharma". Hinduism is a term invented by the British-rulers - and encompasses every relion on the Indian soil.
2. The main Sanatan Dharma principles are there in the Gita and Upanishad (the Vedas mainly discuss how man should live life). Those are all high and excellent philosophy. After reading those, if you read Koran or Bible - it will feel like you are reading nursery rhymes after reading Shakespear or Rabindranath, in terms of content.

Hindus also pray to stone idols, so stop preaching. You are just adding to enmity among the two communities.

don't want to argue, but Hindus believe that Yama will come to take them on their death. Is this rational? They believe by bathing in Ganges will wash away their sins? Is this rational? You can kill a hundred man and bath in a river to get holy again. Stop dragging mythology here. This is not the topic of discussion here, if you have read the report.

Sonujee, Virendra is not talking about sickness of body; Ithink he is talking about sins of a man who commit immoral acts and then think of purging themselves. You R both Right.

Mr Virendra Singh, it depends how you interpret the text.
River Ganga flows down from himalayas, and himalaya is suppose to have tons of ayurvedic medicinal plants. and Ganga water is suppose to have that effect of ayurvedic medicines.
and in ancient times, where there was no cure for many disease, also ppl used to think of "leprosy" as "paap" or Sins. and ppl believed that if one takes bath in ganga water then one can get rid of that sin ( leprosy ).
So man, first try to dig out the facts, just dont try to sound like a pseudo secular just for the sake of it. we already have enough of congress folks for that job.

Lijjat Popadum, your wrote >> muslims believe kaaba will call out to them on the day of judgment. how can a stone speak? heard anything more irrational and superstitious? unnatural and ungodly?
Yes muslims do believe in that. Why?
All creation belongs to Allah, if Allah wills he can give the ability for Kaaba to call Muslims. There is nothing supertitious about it, the Creator has full control over the created. Hence muslims worship the Creator and not the created. That is what is called monotheism, belief in none other than Allah the only true god.
