Allah literally means God.
Yes, I know, but I was referring to that statement provided. Some people differentiate, apparently.

Allah literally means God.
Neither G-d nor Allah according to that statement are 'idols'. They are outside of the 'object' category. I just think you're really using some definition acrobatics here, and have to say, you may have backtracked earlier as well, because that would make us 'objects' as well, hence idol worship according to your definitions.
At least those Children will be raised and taught not to mock others. The least one of them will have more values than you.
The children will end up as child brides and bacha bazi. Please save some children who will learn of Santa and begin to celebrate Christmas.

are you 8!!
I am not a Muslim. If I was 8 I could marry a bride 2 months old going by the prophets calculation. He married Aisha who was six when he was almost 50 years old.
Islam may be against idol worship but has the Quran taught how to avoid idol worship? The only way to avoid idol worship is to turn within. But Islam says Allah is outside just like idols and not within.
G-d is everywhere, out of us and within us also:
The Holy Quran : Chapter 51: Al-Dhariyat
[51:21] And in the earth are Signs for those who have certainty of faith,
[51:22] And also in your own selves. Will you not then see?
[51:23] And in heaven is your sustenance, and also that which you are promised.
[51:24] And by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, it is certainly the truth, even as it is true that you speak.

How can God be inside Muslims? The prophet himself said it was Gabriel who brought the message of God to him in the cave. If God was within the prophet he would have no need for a messenger like Gabriel. Are you literate enough to read the Quran in Arabic?
Islam mocks others when it says it is the one and only true religion and all other religions are bogus.At least those Children will be raised and taught not to mock others. The least one of them will have more values than you.
For your information Islam does not believe God is everywhere. All religions believe God is omnipotent; omniscient and omnipresent. Of these Islam does not believe Allah is omnipresent. In any case the point is that Allah is not us (what we actually are) and therefore He is outside us. Only Hinduism says we are God.G-d is everywhere, out of us and within us also:
Facts should be unconditionally accepted as facts. Why is faith required for accepting facts?[51:21] And in the earth are Signs for those who have certainty of faith,
What is actually meant by "in your own selves"?[51:22] And also in your own selves.
There appears to be an omission here - it should be: Lord of the heaven; the hell and the earth.[51:24] And by the Lord of the heaven and the earth,
This is a good point Harikrish.How can God be inside Muslims? The prophet himself said it was Gabriel who brought the message of God to him in the cave. If God was within the prophet he would have no need for a messenger like Gabriel. Are you literate enough to read the Quran in Arabic?
Allah coming down to the level of humans? Instead Allah could have raised humans to His level. But how could He? He made humans to test humans and those who pass His test are given heaven where humans can indulge in as much materialism as they want. If we fail the test we are roasted for eternity.It is for human understanding that such words are used.
In absolute sense or in abstraction there is no separate Allah. He is part of existence.In absolute sense or in abstraction where there are no physical dimensions of space and time there are no "ins" and "outs" or "up" and "down".
What do you mean by "where you are coming from"? Motives dont matter. The correct answers matter.I really don't like the idea of God as being either "in" or "out". It seems very simplistic to me as a Muslim. I really wish you will be able to justify your position more clearly in order to understand where you are coming from.

How can Allah be absolute and One at the same time? The absolute is uncountable. He can be countable only if He is an object. The absolute is not an object. The absolute is existence.
If Allah is ever living then how does the Quran say Allah created life? If so – was Allah lifeless before He created life? How can the ever-living be lifeless? A major contradiction in the Quran.
.
If Allah is the sustainer of all existence then He is separate from existence. Is He then non-existent? Yet another contradiction in the Quran.
What you have stated appears to be a convenient way of evading the really tough questions. Quran is in people's language. Then why can't a people's language be used to question it?You are taking what is applied to people and attributing it to Allah which is false.
None of the rules you are stating applies to Allah because Allah is the Creator and everything else is the creation. So what applies to the creation applies to the the creation because the Creator has chose for us to be bound by these limitations.
