"Thou shalt have no other gods before me"

Idolatry is the worship of an idol or a physical object as a representation of a god.
Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idolatry

Muslims worship the Black Stone... why?
Ref: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pietra_Nera

If the Black Stone is the representation of God on Earth... Islam can be indicated as idolatry and hence been categorized not as Religion but as a sin.

What do you think?

Is the Black Stone the representation of God on Earth?

Best regards.

Christains worship a cross or statue, Hindus worship cows. all religions find a way to manifest their belief.

When I see word "religion" first thought that falls on my mind is beginning of zeitgeist movie. What is the biggest lie ever told? People need to read, read and read more but not books that parents and school give them. Try to see the truth!

We would far better off if we were all the King of England.

As far as I understand the 25th of December starts a new year for the Sun (Winter Solstice - https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solstizio).

Egyptians worshipped the Sun while Semitic religions worshipped the Moon.

To give a basis for comparison a lot of religions in the world uses a human figure to follow born just after the winter solstice (25th of December).
The basis for comparison in Christianity is Jesus Christ
The basis for comparison in Islam is Muhammed.

Islam also pray a stone: this for Christianity is idolatry.

If the muslims believe that the Black Stone is the representation of God on Earth this is Idolatry for Christianity and hence a sin.

If you have any doubt or information feel free to ask.

Best regards.

I don't know if you're trying to be a troll or what, but the definition of religion is as follows the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. So regardless of where your God or gods are located and how many of them you worship regardless of the form or shape they "are in" would be a religion.

If I went outside and starting worshipping a rock and called it the rock religion, and my followers had "services" at rock (music) concerts that's still considered a religion.

Worshipping a rock is a sin of Idolatry as expressed in the first post.
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me"
- Ex 20:3

No: worshipping a rock is not a Religion.

The question here is: do muslims believe that "the Black Stone" is the rapresentation of God on Earth?

Best regards.
