Muslims don't pray to Muhammed, they pray to Allah. Not to the prophet, to the god. Jews don't pray to Moses, they pray to God. Not to the prophet, to the god. Are you sensing a theme here? In religions in which there is only one god, no idolatry, there can still be prophets. Prophets tell people the word of god. The give instructions, commandments. They tell people to pray to god, not to kill, not to covet, and a whole bunch of other things. But you don't pray to the prophets. How hard of a concept is this to grasp?

Muslims aren't to pray to Muhammad 5 times a day. . They are to pray to an old pagan shrine 5 times a day. . Sure, they say that they are praying to Allah, but Allah isn't everywhere. He's in Mecca. He's only in Mecca. . It's still idolatry. .

I'm not a Muslim, but most people know that Muslims pray to Allah, not Mohammad.

Third I really refuse the way of asking this qusion "and answering in this impolite way "

This conversation is getting ridiculous. Good luck getting gods to bow to you. Have fun with that. Look, I don't care what you believe in religiously, or if you believe in anything at all, but stop making stuff up about other religions. In most mainstream religions, when you pray to your god, your god doesn't show up, physically, for the prayer. At least not that you know about. So you face a direction that is of religious importance, or historical, or something. Most mainstream religions will tell you that god is everywhere. That it doesn't matter where you pray, or whether or not you're in your house of worship or able to follow all the traditions, remember all the words of formal worship. That god will hear you anyway. So when you face a particular direction, you aren't facing away from god. And, just so we get this clear, people, prophets or otherwise, who died centuries ago are not directions. North, South, East, West--these sorts of things are directions. Facing toward a particular place--that would have something to do with a direction. You cannot face a man who died forever ago. That is nonsensical. Bowing. In religions like Islam and Judaism you can bow, and are asked to bow to your god, and only your god. You are not allowed to bow to anyone or anything else. Bowing to your god is not idolatry, because well, it's your god. It might be for someone else, who believes in another god, but in the explanations of religion, let's just pretend that the person bowing toward the Kaaba is Muslim, that the person bowing towards the Aron Kodesh/Hekhál is Jewish. Now, let's go back to the whole, god not popping up in front of you bit. Let's say, I am in forest, and I stop and kneel to pray, there might be trees in front of me. This doesn't mean that I am kneeling to trees, or that I take them as my god. I would still be praying to my god, whoever my god is in this scenario. God is everywhere. This doesn't mean that just because ontario, for example happens to be one of the millions of cities I am facing, directionally, that I am praying to ontario. It doesn't mean I am praying to someone who claimed to be a prophet and lived in ontario hundreds of years ago. There is no idolatry. Just as there is no idolatry in the rituals of Islam and Judaism. In different sects of Christianity, you kneel before a priest, who is a person, not a god. But this is ok with the religion, the person kneeling doesn't think (generally) that the priest is another god or better than god, and doesn't pray to the priest instead of to their god. If you are looking for signs of idolatry, I suggest you run around looking for cows made of gold near thundering mountains.

we pray to God 5 times a day

You say you know about Islam! What a joke! MUSLIMS DO NOT PRAY TO MUHAMMED (PBUH). -6

I don't know much about Islam, but I'm pretty sure they're praying to God, not Muhammad.
