Why should Idol worshipers (of all concerned religions) keep that practices continued?
Let me try to explain even I am not a supporter of idol worshiping, I don’t oppose that practice.
All of you idol worshipers! This article will really help you to stay on your practices, and of course it’ll enable you to answer if you are asked by some terrorist typed guy. Either you belong to any religion, this will be beneficial.
1. Idolatry has become the identity of your religion. If you offer your prayer before an idol of Jesus Christ you are known as a Christian. If you offer your prayer before an Idol of Ganesh or Lakshmi you are considered as a Hindu. This consideration is global. So idol worshipping is your religious identity.
2. I agree that there is only one god ( if it really existing) and when you offer your prayer through that idol you really worship that (one god that said) only. The idol is used there as a tool ,as a medium only and has nothing to do with your faith. But because in last few of hundreds of years your community has become habitual of this practice.
3. Idol worship enables you for worshipping. When you go before an idol, you start to feel that you are ready for worshipping. You feel a divine emotion that is a most neccesary content for worshiping. Otherwise idols are idols only and can not do any thing good or bad to you.
But in last hundred of years passed, your community has become dependent on idolatry. Take it as a starter only.
Thank you. Regards -Love.Guru

Dear Love.guru,
Great thoughts. A neutral person could see that MOST IDOLIZED HUMAN BEINGS in the history of this world are JESUS and MUHAMMAD. Abrahamic claims they are not idol-worshippers but here is the list of idols (call it God, Godly, apostles, holy, ..)
| Religion | Idols? | Counter views |
|---|---|---|
| Islam | Kabaa, Koran, Muhammad, Mecca, stone house, Darga of Saints, Ayatolla, Persian writings, Apostle’s (PBUH) act of kissing the stone, go to a grave and pray the dead, blank wall, …? | Indian, Haque, … |
| Judaism | Jerusalem Wall, candle, Star of David, …? | Christianity | Gold and wood crosses, Mary, Baby Jesus, John, Peter, Paul, Pope, Mother Teresa, Santa Clause, Our Lady of Guadalupe, angel, ….?? | Hinduism | The list will be too long, since Hindus have liberty to see the God in any thing and anybody. They will say we see divine in you, namaste! | rkdskd, …. | Sikhism | Guru Granth Sahib, A statue or photo of Guru Nanak, the Golden Temple, … | SikhiWiki |
Taken from IDOL-WORSHIPPER: WHO IS AND WHO IS NOT, add to the list.

Dear readers,
There can be no life without liberty and no liberty without life. Freedom of expression is the very essence of liberty and meaningful life. The imposition of Islamic totalitarianism will be the death-knell of liberty.
The issuance of death fatwas is a criminal act of inciting extrajudicial murder, denying the right to life, liberty, freedom of expression, and happiness to its victims. Arrest warrants must not only be issued against the fatwa proclaimer, but also governments that protect such vile criminals and inciters of terrorism also be censured and referred to the International Criminal Court at the Hague.
On its part, the US Congress should declare that ALL peoples of the world have been granted Constitutional protection of their life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, and individuals and governments that disrupt or imperil those rights of an individual can be sued in the US courts. This means that all those against whom fatwas have been issued as well as individuals or group—Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, or otherwise—who have been denied equality, could sue their oppressors of Muslim countries in US courts. Even Muslim women, whose human rights are violated or are denied equality, can sue for the protection of their rights, and equality with Muslim men, in US courts. The US courts would punish individuals, such as proclaimers of death fatwas, with arrest warrants as well as those governments with measures such as denying visas to UN delegations to withdrawal of monetary assistance and even economic sanctions.
Class action lawsuits should immediately be launched in US courts on behalf of those oppressed in Muslim lands or elsewhere, and all those living under death fatwa. This will be a historical event toward ensuring the rights and dignity of individuals irrespective of their residence or nationality, which will change history.
Hi chand alias Mera Piary Chandu,
I have just gone through your writing.Pl. file a case against me in an American Court.A line may also be added that I have said “Erstwhile president of U.S.A George Bush is/was the number terrorist in the earth or world has ever produced.”
Chandu, i will pay your air fare.
Md.Zia-ul-Haque, Ali & Advocate
There are so many Muslims in US, if he was against your religion he would have removed all of them by now. World thinks Bush as the hero who protects its country against any threat. Obama proved it by destroying alqueda and Osama. Do you have any reason why you feel that way for Bush?
Mr.rahul
Many Indians have branded George Bush as number one terrorist. Bush attacked Iraq on the plea that Iraq had WMD but it was proved that Iraq did not have any such weapon. It is not Bush. Communal minded hindus always support anti muslim leader(s).
During 1971 Indo Pak conflict entire hindu community and a section of bengali speaking Muslims of erstwhile East Pakistan had supported India. Will you tell me whether they were right or wrong.If they were right then how? If they were wrong then why?

Mohd. Zia ul Haque,
The issue of divorce among Muslim women has taken a dangerous turn because clerics are out to exploit them in the name of Halala. When a man divorces a woman three times, she goes to a cleric who tells them that the couple can be reunited after Halala, which means after the woman contracts another marriage, at least for one night. Hence, these one-night brides lose their dignity in their houses and often fall prey to psychological diseases.
The clerics have set up the Halala centres in London, Birmingham and other cities where divorced women are exploited. But real Ulema oppose this trend. Though all prominent clerics condemn exploitation of women, they do not highlight this issue because it could lead to disrepute of the Muslim community. The community is already facing a tough time due to child sex grooming and other such cases.
In some cases, men divorce women three times in one go due to anger but later they realize that they have made a wrong decision. When they go to clerics to seek a way out of this problem so that they can be reunited, the clerics tell them that their wives have to contract a second marriage before they can be reunited in a marital bond again.
The women are then hoodwinked into marrying the clerics and spend at least one night with them. The clerics agree to let them go to their former husbands in the morning but later they change their mind and demand huge sums of money to honour their agreement. They sometime keep the perturbed women in their houses for many days to quench their lust.
These women fail to get their dignity back when reunited with their husbands but they have to survive for the sake of children and family. They then suffer from psychological diseases. Some clerics have opened Halala centres in their houses and their agents bring divorced women to them. They sometimes gift these women to their friends.
Mohd. Zia,
How your mother, sister and daughters managed to prove virginity on the wedding night, because of their prolonged sexual encounters with several customers? I am quoting example of France, where muslim women are going openly for hymen repair surgery.
France, has 8 million Muslim population, despite being a liberal democratic country, Hymen repair and issue of fake virginity certificates by Doctors, is high. In Muslim community chastity is linked to bridal purity and family honor. Even though Muslim women are emancipated, they still live under rigid codes of family honor. Thus women are forced to go for surgery (To repair hymens, the membrane usually broken by the first act of sexual intercourse) to go to marriage bed as virgins. These acts clash with liberal social mores of France, but has become mandatory for the young muslim women to prove their virginity. The hymen repair surgery performed under general anesthesia takes 20-30 minutes and costs about $500.
Hi Christian Massey
After all you have recognized me. You were one month infant when foster father had driven your mother out and she was weeping when you were crying loudly for milk. I had given your mother shelter in my friend`s place.You were raised and brought up there only but bastard christian friend wilkinson forcibly married you when your age was 12. He is the father of brother Mac and your daughter anjelina. Believe me I swear in the name Jesus that till today I don`t talk to him.
How is your mother? Very good lady. Where is wilkinson now a days? I think he has migrated to Australia. You christians should leave India because you won`t get any special special as your father or forefathers had opposed India`s Independence.

Dear readers,
Bastard Mohd.Zial Ul Haque instead of realizing the evil teachings of islam, always beating around the bush and attempting to correlate relationship with strangers as if he is speaking truth. The persons whom he is quoting in fact are the persons who knows his families notorious background every body indulged in dirty sexual games.
He claims to be Alim, but a dread terrorists arranging mutta marriages of his daughters, sisters, nieces for the sake of money only.
Due to malpractices of Islam, the women are adopting hymen repair surgery or using artificial hymen kit. His mother and sisters also use such artificial hymen kit to show them as virgin before the customers to get lucrative amount of money.
Recently the press and radio in Britain were abuzz with reports that muslim girls, especially Pakistani muslim girls were demanding the Hymen Repair Service free on the NHS. It was reported the demand for this service had gone up threefold in recent years.
If done privately, the hymen can be repaired for about 4,000 pounds sterling, while if approved, it can be done free of charge on the National Health Service.
The demand for this service arises from the fact that muslim bridegrooms ask for virgin brides, so muslim girls after this operation pretend to be virgins, while enjoying premarital sexual relationships.
One wonders if muslim men REALLY need a virgin bride, for on dying a jihadi death, they are guaranteed 72 virgins (plus 30 odd pearly-eyed boys), who revert to being virgins after each sexual intercourse ! In that case, do they really want an ‘earthly’ virgin bride ?
You bastard traitor Christial william
Bastard why did you christians opposed India`s Independence which was achieved by Muslim Hindu freedom fighters? Tell me why.

Ram Bahadur Chhetri and Kallu were guys with whom your elder sister eloped and returned after 10 months with twins in her womb,who made you mama jani. Dont forget, you were agent of your own mother and she had a kotha and she was known in Kolkatta,Bano Bai for sexual pleasure.
You are the product of pig, whose sperms gave birth you, as your was suffering from nymphomonia.
Shenaz
You are so ungrateful creature. How is your mother? At least you have recognized your Mama Jan. I know you are denying because your present husband subhas is very strict. Alright I will get in touch with Subhash very soon and ask him to bring you and your mother pagli. How is your physically handicapped brother Reyaz? More than two decades I have not seen any of you. May God bless you.

Hi every body,
The islamic evils are spreading fast in UK. Every body should be aware of it. Mohd.Zia is also a product of terrorist, as his mother was the kept of a Al Shabab group of terrorists in UK.She was fucked by all terrorists 20000000000000000000000000000000000000000000times.
A prominent British Muslim commentator is being protected by police following concerns over his safety following the release of a video by Somali-based terror group, al-Shabaab, which singled out several British Muslims for having criticised jihadists in the aftermath of the Woolwich murder.
Mohammed Ansar, a filmmaker and journalist who has spoken out against extremism in Islam and the far right, said police visited his home at midnight on Wednesday, concerned for his safety after Shabaab released an hour-long film, The Woolwich Attack: It’s an Eye for an Eye.
Other British Muslims named in the film have also been contacted by police and offered security advice since the video’s release, the Guardian has learned.
Narrated by a man with a British accent, wearing a black mask and a camouflage jacket, the Shabaab production praises those behind the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby, describes the Woolwich killings as “a new and terrifying reality” and incites others to carry out attacks in the UK.
In the film, the jihadist group, which has also claimed responsibility for the bloody Kenyan Westgate mall attack, singles out specific British Muslims, including Ansar, who have distanced “themselves from the mujahideen who carried out these attacks” as having “mutilated the teachings of Islam”.
Holding an automatic weapon in his hands, the narrator tells people to purchase knives: “Do not waste your time trying to reinvent the wheel. If you can’t afford to get hold of one of these then certainly a simple knife from your local B&Q will do the job.”
At the end, the narrator encourages others to follow the example of the Woolwich killers and not to let the security services put them off.
Released to coincide with the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha, which ended on Tuesday, the film also identifies 11 British “martyrs” who have died fighting for al-Shabaab.
One British man, named as Talha from Tower Hamlets in east London is shown calling on others to follow him: “I call upon you today all the Muslim men in Britain, especially the people of Tower Hamlets who are in the city I was born in … I call upon you to come to jihad, and raise the banner, humiliate the disbelievers, cut the necks of the disbelievers.”
The video appears to have been made before the attack on the Westgate shopping centre in Nairobi, Kenya, as there is only one brief mention of the “suffering of Muslims in Kenya.”
Ansar, 39, who has four young children living with him at his home said police were now regularly patrolling his residence and were making contact by phone every hour.
The journalist, who has features in a documentary about the former EDL leader Tommy Robinson that will air later this month on BBC1, became a prominent figure after condemning Rigby’s murder the day after his death but says he has never been the subject of an explicit threat before.
Ansar said he was alerted to the video before a plain clothes inspector and a uniformed officer arrived at his home in the small hours. “If they [jihadists] are going to start targeting British Muslims and set fanatical extremists against them then that is a frightening new dimension,” he said.
Usama Hasan, a senior researcher with the anti-extremist Quilliam Foundation, was another of those that featured in the video. He said he had seen the film on Wednesday when it was released and was not surprised when police turned up at his home at 9.30pm, warning him he could be in danger. “The video is idiotic but also chilling in many ways. This guy has a British accent and he is using the language of fascism about the deaths of kuffar [non-believers].”
The imam and broadcaster Ajmal Masroor said the authorities had also made contact with him after he was also named in the film. “Extremism in all its forms is nasty and has a self destructive property … the truth is moderation will always prevail,” he said.
Scotland Yard said: “We are aware of the video and we are assessing its contents and looking into it.”
• This article was amended on 18 Ocrtober 2013. An earlier version said Mohammed Ansar had made a documentary about the former EDL leader Tommy Robinson that will air later this month on BBC2. He features in the documentary, which will be shown on BBC1
You bastard christian pork eater Churchill,

MZUH, Haramzade,kutte ke pille,
I was born in a muslim family and looking into various islamic evils
left the criminal ideology and so called religion for ever.The criminal ideology of islam had been harrassing and torturing females for 1000 of years. How your mother was forced in mutta marriage, then in halala and now in prostitution? Do you know who is your real biological father, and when you went for learning koran in madaras, maulvies did not spare your ass hole. How your own daughter is being sexually enjoyed by the mullas that is an open fact in your locality. She has to undergo mutliple abortions. Shame on you.
Ha Ha Ha
Now I have recognised you. You are that shenaz who had eloped with my old Nepali Guard(Darwan). Your mother was our maid servant and you know very well that by Grace Of Allah I was born in an affluent family and had my primary education in England. You used call me Mama Jan. Do you remember that you had once seen your mother pagli with me in a compromise position and that you started crying? I gave you a Chocolate and then kissed you also. Shenaz I am your that Mama. I was shocked when I was told by you father kalloo that got you married with Ram Bhadur Chhetri my darwan`s teen aged son.But you have left him also for Subhash that car mechanic. By the by how is your mother pagli.Ask her to see me and take her dues.
Love & affection

Dear Shenaz,
What a great article full of islamic realities. Mohd.Zia is a son of bitch,who is a al quaida terrorists. I would like to submit following text for the information of our learned readers.
MY BASIS PURPOSE IS TO HIGHLIGHT MONSTER FACE OF ISLAMIC RELIGION.
The London subway bombings and assassination of Van Gogh in Holland are beginning to awaken Europe to the huge Muslim problem there. Up to this point, leaders have assumed that the stream of immigrants from Islamic countries would adopt western values and assimilate into the European culture.
Indeed, many have gotten jobs and schooling not available in their home countries and are enjoying the freedoms and prosperity. But a significant number are following the hard line teachings of the Koran, challenged by radical clerics to bring Europe under Islamic law.
One disturbing factor was that some of the London bombers were not freshly immigrated. They were born, raised and educated in Britain. Even members of their families were shocked by their actions, not aware of their radical worldview.
At first Muslim immigrants appeared to assimilate and adapt to the western culture. Now, radical elements are stirring the Muslim youth to obey the Koran and declare jihad on the western “infidels.” The hope that “moderate” Muslim leaders would prevent violence now seems remote. British Prime Minister Tony Blair has declared his intent to deport those who advocate violence. This may be a bigger job than he anticipates.
France, with its “live and let live” culture, has become a magnet for Muslims. One aging Italian journalist observed: “Muslims declare openly: ‘We must take advantage of the democratic space that France offers us, we must exploit democracy, that is, make use of it to occupy territory.'” The journalist is in hiding from death threats for exposing Islam’s radical agenda in a recent book.
Islamic leaders believe that time is on their side. Birthrates of the native European countries are far below replacement rates. Their pleasure-seeking culture does not want to be bothered with the inconveniences of large families. Europe now desperately needs the millions of aborted babies who would be growing up to maintain the culture, expand the economy, and counter the influence of the invaders.
Muslim leaders are keenly aware that their large families will eventually outnumber the Europeans. One recent study estimated that 20 percent of the teens in Europe were Muslim. A pregnant Muslim in France bragged that her baby’s generation would be the rulers of the country.
Kosovo, in eastern Europe, provides a lesson of life when Islam dominates. When the fighting ended in the late 1990s, Muslims were in majority. Since then, over 200,000 Orthodox Serbs have fled the country. 150 churches have been burned and 200 mosques constructed. 18,000 legal complaints have been filed against Muslims for confiscation of property.
In America, this cultural jihad is somewhat behind Europe. Nevertheless, it is on track. Thousands of mosques now dot the land. As Muslim influence grows, these mosques become more than places of worship. They become cultural and education centers promoting Islamic political rule. In every Islamic country, there is no separation between government and religion. The West is dreaming if it thinks that it will be any different here under Muslim domination.
Historically, the only effective counter to the Islamic Jihad is the gospel. Twice in history, Muslim hordes have attempted to force Islam on the West. They were stopped by military force motivated by Christian ideology. Only a return by the West to the God of the Bible can stop this new invasion.
Soul winners, we have much work to do. Not only must the Muslims among us be convinced of the gospel, but our own rotting culture must be revived.
Vincent my boy, no respect for father. Oh sorry, you don`t know your own back ground.Ask your timid but greedy mother about me. If she tells you everything in detail then not only you will be ashamed but also ask me to forgive you. Anyway I have forgiven you.How is your mother Rebecca? Does she remember me? Must be with hate.
My child, just open the bible and see what is written there about the Holy Prophet Muhammed(S.W.A).
Md.Zia-ul-Haque,Alim & Advocate
Dear readers,
In the case of Muhammad, he was a criminal child molester, wife abuser, rapist, murderer, torturer, terrorist just a small sample of the criminality of Muhammad. If God picked such a prophet to represent him anywhere in the universe and gave divine sanction and support/encouragement to His prophet’s criminal acts then God would no longer be Moral Perfection and therefore no longer God but just an accomplice to his evil prophet. God would be equally guilty in all the criminal acts perpetrated by Muhammad. God would be just a wanton criminal. Just as Adolph Hitler and Comrade Stalin were not prophets of God so to Muhammad was no prophet of God.
In order to have received Quranic verses transmitted by Angel Gabriel from God then every word of the Quran must be Moral Perfection. As we see, that the Quran is filled with thousands of immoral words/teachings then Muhammad never met Gabriel. Not one word was ever spoken to Muhammad by Angel Gabriel.
Muhammad was a hands on Fuhrer Prophet. He not only ordered mass murder, torture, raping of sex slaves but he personally beheaded his enemies, raped their women, plundered their property, and sold the women – he and his men did not want as sex slaves and their children into slavery to raise funds to finance his jihadi armies. The prophet owned 40 slaves.
Mohd.Zia,
You are mistaken to advocate islam, not a religion, but a criminal ideology and mindset against the humanity is fastest growing. Due to multiplication of muslim birth rate, because of 20/20 children and 4 wives concept and 72 virgin concepts attract all criminals towards islam.
Muslim kids are found like pigs every where. You are also one of pigs produced by mutta marriage of your mother so many times.
You bastard churchill
That is not the
answer. You bastard christians` tactics and policy is divide and rule. Muslims ruled over India for 1000 yrs but there was no history communal riot but those christians Britishers are/were responsible for hindu Muslim riots in India. You swines converted to Christianity from schedule castes hindus out of greed and that is the reason you opportunists opposed India`s Independence.
Answer properly to my earlier questions you bastard pork eater.

Hello
One in two Germans considers Islam to be a thread. 50 per cent of Germans are also convinced that Islam does not fit in in Germany. 18 per cent of Muslims in Germany and 25 per cent of those polled in Turkey also share this opinion. This is the result of the new “Religionsmonitor” from the Bertelsmann Institute, whose numbers are present exclusively in the “Welt am Sonntag”.
It shows: Half of the population do not share the view of former federal president Christian Wulff, that Islam is part of Germany. Also internationally Islam is seen as a threat: 76 per cent of Israelis, 60 per cent of Spanish, 50 per cent of Swiss and 42 per cent of US Americans judge it to be dangerous. But also Judaism is seen by 19 per cent of East and West Germans as a threat.
The doubt about the compatibility of Islam and the western world is sharper in East Germany than West Germany (57 to 49 per cent), although fewer Muslims live there. Older people and those with lower levels of education are inclined more strongly to perceive Islam as a threat.
Churchill
Is it a fact that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world as on today?
After hearing from you I shall deal with your comments about Islam.
Md.Zia-ul-Haque, Alim & Advocate
Hi readers,
I would like to summarise the current issue that all other religions are not cruel like Islam. Islam is a religion of cruelty, discrimination, murder, rape, terrorism against non muslims and even against their own female community. The islam was expanded by killing and murdering, raping and kidnappings millions of innocent people by so called prophet, who was in reality a great enemy of world. How God can nominate such a person, who did not spare 9 year old child to rape, forcibly married his sons own wife just for sexual desire.
In Islam women are just like sex objects and even in heaven they have to entertain sexually criminal and terrorists.

What you have is certainly known to others but why Islam is still the fastest growing religion in the world today?

Please don`t try to malign Islam the greatest and the oldest Religion finally reformed by Prophet Muhammed(S.W.A). We Muslims do not worship idols rather we hate and keep safe distance from idol worshipers.
I am sorry for ignorance of the fact and very very limited knowledge.
such matter(s).Even an innocent Muslim`s blood will get boiled if any mischievous person creates an image of Holy Prophet of Islam and will instantly kill that fellow. Kindly read the history to know how many such incidents took place or happened in the past.
1) We offer our Salat i.e Namaz facing Kaba Sharif but don`t worship
Kaba Sharif
2} We follow the instruction(S) given by Allah in Holy Koran Sharif.
3) We accept Prophet Muhammed as the final Messenger and Last Prophet
of Islam. We also accept Adam i.e Hazrat Adam(A.S), Abrahan i.e
Hazrat Ibrahim(A.S),David i.e Harat Daud(A.S), Jesus i.e. Hazrat
Isa(A.S) and more or less 124000 Prophets but never worship them.
4) Either you are 100% bias or don`t possess the quality to be in the
helm of affairs of any website. Please note in the general
book of your children or gran children that Mecca Sharif is a City
in Saudi Arabia and as such worshiping of a City does not arise at
all.
5) We do visit to Dargah Sharifs of several Saints of Islam to seek
blessing but that does not wean worshiping the Saint(s)
6) Going to graves and/or kissing the stone also does not come under
the purview of idol worshiping.
Md.Zia-ul-Haque,Alim & Advovate

Just like as you have said, “Namaz facing Kaba Sharif but don`t worship Kaba Sharif”, Hindus also don’t worship the marble statue but worship Lord Krishna. Likewise, Christians don’t worship to two pieces of wood sticks, but worship the Father God by acknowledging Jesus’ sacrifices. The same way, on the Sabbath day, Jews don’t worship the candle but use it as a focus point to pray to LORD God.
WE ALL use idols to help focus on the formless ultimate, and we have our own justifications for it.
Anyways, thank you for clarifying. Your views are referred into the “counter views” column.
