its funny that islam says they dont worship idols

but when they pray they have to pray at the direction of the mecca stone and when they are at the mecca stone they love to kiss the stone but when u ask them y u worship that say we dont worship it its just a rock

Reminds me of Hosea 4;12 My people ask counsel of their idols of wood, and their staff advises unto them: for the spirit of harlotry has caused them to err, and they have played the harlot against their God.

I just recently studied this with my kids (we homeschool) and it struck me as odd that it was stated that only muslims are allowed in the city of Mecca. How do they enforce that? When you become muslim do you get some sort of membership card and have to show it at the gate when you enter the city?

Funny haha or funny peculiar? Islam is horribly hypocritical if you ask me.

Just because Islam is contrary to Christianity of the Abrahamic God doesn't mean you simply issue falsehoods and lame accusations.

What you state is no different then Christians praying toward a cross or putting one's hand on the Bible.

Are you saying every Christian prays "toward a cross" or while they have their hand on a bible? That would be categorically false. In contrast, however, is what is being described above is the very "center" of the islamic faith. Not all Christians have a desire, or feel it necessary, to make a pilgrimage to the hill on which Christ was crucified, or the see the tomb in which He was laid. Big difference.

Ironically, there is on posting on this thread who would know about praying to, touching or otherwise venerating icons.
