The story is that the Ka’aba was a house of pure worship established by Abraham, which was later corrupted by idol worship till Mohammed purified it.
The same was essentially true, according to the OT, of the Temple in Jerusalem, which went through numerous episodes of corruption, including idol worship, and purification. So if a period of idol worship in a building makes it forever “a house of idols,” you’ll have to include the Temple Jesus preached in.
The theory that because Islam is guilty of many bad things it must be guilty of all bad things is just idiotic. It’s like saying Nazis must have been cruel to animals because cruelty to animals is bad and Nazis are bad.
In actual fact, of course, Nazis were the first government ever to make a priority of eliminating such cruelty. They preferred to focus their cruelty on people.
Same, IMO, with regard to saying anyone not a Christian, or possibly a Jew, is therefore an idolator. Sikhs, many Buddhists, Parsees and many other faiths would beg to differ.
That’s comical!
The story called the koran is a lie.
mo-mo purified something? How? Did he thigh it to death?
“The story is that the Ka’aba was a house of pure worship established by Abraham, which was later corrupted by idol worship till Mohammed purified it.”
Well, that’s the revisionist history of the Mohammedans. There’s no evidence it had any connection to Adam, Abraham, or Ishmael before the Muslims invented that backstory to cover up the fact that they were revering a house of idolatry. The earliest accounts of the Kaaba are of it being dedicated to a panoply of idols, so it was, as far as can be determined, always a house of idols. It doesn’t fit the description of any worship center that Hebrews would consecrate, so the Muslim claim is patently ridiculous.
