Veneration is respect, deep respect. Not debasing worship, just love and respect for their faith. What were you thinking it meant?

I have. I've seen many people bow before an altar with a cross on it. And then there's the cross behind the altar, the crosses in the windows on either side of that cross, and the cross embossed in the floor where they are bowing.
Yeah. They bow to crosses.
Again, that's the other team. The whore we are talking about in this very thread. I'm a Protestant, not a Catholic.

Bullcrap. Protestants pray facing the empty cross in every church I've been in.

Worship is ascribing great worth to something. Worth + ship. Veneration. Anything can be worshipped. Money is Ba'al worship. Abortion is Moloch worship, heck 70,000 fans gather any given Sunday in large stadiums to worship their favorite football team. A person worships anything they spend unnecessary time, talents, and their treasure upon.

My church doesn't have a single cross on it's walls. Are you thinking of the daughter churches of Rome? Lutheran, Methodist, Orthodox? And i've only been in one church where the parishioners got on their knees collectively to pray and it was a Catholic church, not a Protestant. I call your bluff.

Muslims do not worship the Kaaba. We do not pray to the Kaaba. We do not idolize the Kaaba. Worship is only for Allah.

Let me ask you, is there compulsion in Islam?

Keep moving that goalpost and ignoring the fact that Christians worship the cross and engage in idol worship. Look at your avatar. It's a pagan symbol. The Cross of Tammuz. There is so much pagan idolatry in Christianity. And you have the audacity to invent the LIE that Allah is a pagan moon god; a claim which has been refuted and disproved numerous times by myself and others.
Perhaps you should, as Jesus allegedly said in the Bible, worry about the plank in your own eye.

No, your cross is pagan in origins. Sorry. Facts are facts. Christians worship a pagan symbol See also: (origin of the Cross)
And Allah is not a moon god See also: (Why the Moon is used in Islam)

1. Is there compulsion in Islam?
2. What do Muslims all around the world bow towards when praying 5 times per day?
3. What will Muslims do with the people of the book and the swine when the Mahdi arrives?
