I find it hard to believe that they're doing it to avoid idolatry. Many many many many many mosques are decorated with gold and beautiful marble and all that kinda stuff.. how come they don't get the same kind of treatment? Its the same thing, yet it seems to be overlooked. Christianity has the same rules concerning idols and statues and such but i still see statues of saints and churches and tools of worship covered in or completely made of gold.
I figure if they're gonna do it to something like the house of the main prophet they follow the teachings of they would do a clean sweep and just dump all of that kind of thing in one swoop.
I know if they tried this on the house of Jesus (not that thereis one) it wouldn't go over so well. But i guess im trying to compair red apples to green apples.
