 We must be miscomminicating - that's okay, I honestly doubt we can go very far with this one.

Quote:2) Abrahamic religions don’t like idols.
What religions say about themselves, vs what religions actually do and are. 

I think that beliefs about a sacred and magical book that ends up a prized and well cared for possession are direct stand ins for the idols you may be more familiar with.  They perform the function of idols, and are believed to have similar supernatural powers as those idols, and are treated like those idols.  Many neopagans use their own magic books in precisely the same way.

Quote:There is the story of Abraham breaking down the idols in a temple with an axe and then putting the axe in the hand of the last remaining idol and telling the guardians of the temple “He must have done it. There is life in him isn’t there?”.
Even Christian depictions of Jesus, the apostles and the virgin were at one time broken down by iconoclasts (during the Reign of the emperor Justinian I If I remember correctly). So no, monotheism refuses idolatry.
Monotheism doesn't do that, you may do that...though I think it's questionable whether or not you actually do refuse idolatry.... but it's not a requirement of or rule for monotheism.

If I had to guess, you think you refuse it because of a narrow and dogmatically important bit about offending god. Which, conveniently, is why I think you might want to reassess islams relationship to a magic book. If that sort of thing is unwarranted, and forbidden, and offends god....... well.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
