this form of worship should actually look into themselves to find out whether, what they are doing is right and whether their opposition to idol worship is justified or they have been taken for a ride by the rank agnostics such as the Mughals! They should free themselves from set ideas and fanatic ideologies and come to grip with the reality!
My humble request to all the learned is "Free yourselves from dogmas and find out when, why and where this opposition to idol worship started in India and other parts of the world and surely, a convergence of views in this matter can in due course, be established in the general interest of the praying public of this great Universe!" (As translated by P. Raghunathan and Asha Nahta).
