Jesus and Mary (pbut)? When Mohammad(pbuh) went to take control of Mecca, he saw they had many PAGAN idols. Islam is very much against pagan and idoltry.

So Mohammad(pbuh) destroyed 360 pagan idols when he went to Kaaba temple, EXCEPT when he saw the icons of Jesus(pbuh) and Mary(pbuh), he put his hands on them and he said "Wash out all except what is below my hands".

Every idol, except that of Jesus(pbuh) and Mary(pbuh), was destroyed. What is the significant of this exception he made?

What do we learn from this? What was the meaning? What does this tell us to do today?
 
I think it says it all.

There's a verse in the Quran which in fact states that Christians and Jews also will go to heaven. Surah 2 i think
 
"What is the significant of this exception he made?"
You can believe that 'pursuit of power' had something to do with it.

Seneca: Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

Even if what you say is true, it has no meaning. It is not the idol of Jesus or Mary that matters in humanity, but portraying Jesus in his true identity. Mohammad portrayed Jesus contrary to his identity and spread falsehood about his crucifixion and resurrection. Man can win over death through Jesus only if he follows Jesus. There is no other way given by God to attain eternity other than by following Jesus. Mohammad tried to deviate people away from this fact and thus making people eligible to become God's enemies.
 
One Scholar of Islam, Caesar E. Farah, stated: “Allah, the paramount deity of pagan Arabia, was the target worship in varying degrees of intensity from the southernmost tip of Arabia to the Mediterranean…With Muhammad, he (Allah) becomes Allah, God of the worlds.”

Although Arabs continued to worship other deities, the worship of the moon god (Allah) became pagan Arabia’s answer to the monotheistic Judeo-Christian faith around them. Soon the polytheists of Arabia recognized Allah as their own monotheistic deity. They swore by him (Surah 6:109” and recognized him as the Creator (Surahs 23:84-89; 29:61) well before the advent of Muhammad. This may explain why the literal translation of the Islamic creed Allahu Akbar is “Allah is greater” instead of “Allah is great” implying that Allah is greater than the other gods.

Islam is paganism - the worship of Idols but the important one was the worship of the Moon god who married the Sun god and they brought about 3 daughters, which were worshipped as Al-Lat, Uzza, and Al-Manat.

That's why you see the Moon crescent symbol on every mosque.

The daughters of Allah as they are usually referred to are found in the early version of the Quran but have been deleted so as not to be connected to paganism. How convenient!!!

It is important for us to realise, though, that there is a unique difference between the nature and purpose of the Quran and the Bible. The real issue is between the Quran and Christ, not the Quran and the Bible. The purpose of the Scriptures is to lead us to Christ. There is no salvation in the Scriptures themselves; neither do we ‘worship’ them. Jesus said, ‘You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about Me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life’ (John 5:39-40).
