these muslims are claiming they are in constant touch with their god. they think almighty god who has created the entire cosmos can not reside in an idol (the fact they worship the kaba black stone is of course a different issue). they do not understand any meaning of the mantras recited by the hindus for worshiping the idols. these mantras lead the soul to god and are pathfinders for salvation. it is stupid to make efforts to help people realize who do not think. islam is a penal code, not a religion based on evolving philosophy. they believe if they do not loudly perform five minute namaz for five times a day, their god will be angry. such a terrible mental block indeed that one can not help feeling sad.
according to hinduism, the ultimate reward for a soul is to merge with the paramatma (God according to u) ... when u achieve that, sex with virgins, wealth , everthing becomes meaningless ...
That paramatma is defined in Hinduism to be the Holy Trinity - who takes the form of creator, preserver, destroyer - all the avatars : rama, krishna, hanuman - are incarnations of one or other form of that trinity - so idol worship for that form is nothing but a means of connecting and concentrating with that divine One ... Idol worship is thus a form of associating sanctity with elememts of the world , like in algebra representing untangibles with symbols to make worship and concentration channelised ... its part of a metaphysical thought process to acknowledge the whole creation to be of, by and for God's ...
in Arya Samaj u can follow Rig Veda and worship with or without idols !
And as for idols- they only represent aspects of the trinity ! by breaking a idol u cant hurt God just like by killing a person physically u cant kill his soul - so think scientifically

So Sunil....U r also believing in one God (Paramaatmaa) then why people usualyy abusing and hurting in the name of allah...why we can not think that Paramatma is same as Allah....as stated in Quran allah sent Prophets in every tribe or race...why can't we feel that all unamed Krishna or Rama or others can be probphets in our view like jesus, Moses and Ibrahim are prophets for us..........Why is this fight and hatred.......I never see any Muslims to use any abusive words against other's religion unless provoked...but always Few people are using abusing or objectionable words agianst Islam, Allah or Prophet....

I dont blame you but your foolishness which allows the Mullahs to take control of you. Dont follow any religion. learn to use your brain and beware of all religious teachers, thats all I am saying.
even you became on trap of Television News, if you really wants to know what Islam teaches then ask any of your muslims friend, but he must have knowledge in islam. Ask him You'll know the truth, but if you follow the news then only thing you'll know that is violence.

Anand....It is allah's satemnet in Quran that Allah always sent prophets and religion of truth in every race... 1. It is our understanding wat we shud follow...as u said about Kaba...we are not bowing for Kaba but bowing for allah and every muslim say that before performing namaz..that Allah I am performing namaz of so and so for allah in the direction of Kaba(which we(Muslims) believe as home of allah in this world), and ofcourse it is been prohibited to muslims to pray to Idol's as the idols have been made by humans and something which is created by humans can not be god........and God never need any shape or size...it always reside in ur heart whatever religion u r following........ 2. As per as mantras concerns...yes we do not understand bcoz it is stated that "Allah is God and Prophet mohammed is Last prophet and Islam is last religion all earlier books and prophets needs respect but follow the one which is sent recently to human kind" 3. Well Islam is not penal Code...Shaiath in Islam is like penal code...Islam is religion which shows how to live life...which shows what is God and wat people shud do for his creature...and Quran is holy book of Islam which gives all divine knowlege to it's follower 4. Well like every other religion Muslims are praying to thier god...It's been asked to send salath to thier creature who has given Food, Water and all other resources which he is consuming every day...so why not we shud pray everyday
