If you read the vedas, it says God has no image, or no Idol and God is one. But many Hindus are having several set of idols or gods, goddess, devans, devis, incarnations etc. Probably they may be doing wrong, but that is what Hinduism as we see now in practical life. Vishnu, shiva, ganesh, shiva, durga, lakshmi, saraswathi, ayyappan, murugan, indra, agni, varuna, parvati, Rama, etc... Every gods has a pictorial or idol image and most people keeping it in home and pray to them or in their name. Islam says that God is non comparable, and has no image or form as we see. There is no idol or pictorial representation for God. The K'aba at mecca is only a sacred place of worship which was existed as early as the beginning of mankind, which is prescribed as a direction of prayer to Muslims as a unity and instruction from God. All Muslims all over the world face towards Ka'aba when they worship. We are not worshiping it or praying to it, it is only a direction. Peace.

..I don't think it's the symbol that they worship.. they direct their prayers to their God and not to the symbol.. there are so many ways in which religions are classified and one of these is thru symbols.. we would know it is a muslim because of the symbol they use.. I believe symbols are really merely symbols of each religion we have..
