Thats a complex question (I hope it is not mischievous).... Islam are not the only religion that prohibits idol-worship (there are forms of Islam though that have some forms of idolatry), it is rooted in the history of all semitic religious forms from Judaism to Christianity to Islam to Bahaaism. The history is rather tedious and an e-mail is rather a fairly short space to expound that theology.... The comparison cannot be with hinduism (or are u talking about brahminism) - even in which case there are non-idolatrous forms of it. Most of it is rooted in cultural practices.
