I would say 'Worshiping Idol' is not favored by Islam, rather than saying it is 'against Islam'. And nobody is going to worship Rahman at Madam Tussads. And as much as some of the fans would not want a statue of Rahman installed at Madam Tussads or multiple votes by single person for Rahman's songs, so much would other fans want them, simply because they love Rahman. Let us not bring religion in to music and related discussions on this forum here. If it is somebody's wish to see Rahman's statue at Madam Tussads, let us not intrude into his/her personal choice. And if Rahman says no, we will accept it. Period. But, it is unfair for us to say what will be Rahman's opinion. I personally feel it would be an honour and recognition for Rahman, which would bring further attention to his music and spread them. - Navas On Dec 7, 2007 10:39 PM, Siraj K <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I too feel same as mentioned by Amin.
