So what do the Catholics do but make icons of Jesus and Mary and worship them. Moslems have gone to the other extreme, probably due to the politics of his time. Times change but religions have a hard time adapting.

Just for the record, Catholics do not worship icons or other religious symbolism such as statues, although admitedly, to non-Catholic Christians and others, the veneration heaped upon them can often look like it on the outside. Consider them tools for helping people express and visualize their faith in a tangible way.
