What is the difference between Icons and art or can religious art be classified as Icons?
Spartaks
Religious art and icons are not mutually exclusive. When one refers to an "icon" in art, they most often mean a simplified or abstracted representation of a religious figure, or the entire work of art. In modern religions, icons tend to be slightly abstracted representations in order to avoid the conflict of humans depicting what is divine. The Church disputed whether it was acceptable to show religious figures, like Jesus, in art, and showing them in a stylized manner is a way of avoiding this conflict. The word "icon" comes from Greek, where it originally described an image or statue.

What is the most important difference between Muhammad's teachings and the beliefs of other Arabs?
The answer you are most likely looking for is MONOTHEISM, since most schools try to stress that Muhammad's concept of monotheism was revolutionary in the Arabian Peninsula. However, this is actually false. There were significant numbers of Jews, Christians, and Hanifs (Arab Monotheists) who lived contemporaneously with Muhammad. All of these groups believed in only one god and all of these groups self-identified as Arabs (when they lived in the Arabian Peninsula).The actual major difference between Islam, the religion preached by Muhammad, and other Arabian Faiths was its DETERMINED ICONOCLASM. Iconoclasm is the idea that idols, icons, and other religious images should be destroyed and viewed as great sins. Almost no Arab groups were iconoclastic. The only other serious iconoclasts were the Jews (Christians and Hanifs maintained icons). Now, while Judaism is also iconoclastic, Judaism held no requirement that it was their duty to destroy the idols, icons, and other religious images that belong to Non-Jews. Muhammad specifically wanted to destroy all icons and religious images, regardless of whose religious images they were.
