The sentence speaks for itself - worshipping an ganesha idol is worship of an idol, because the statue itself is the object of veneration. However, worship of the god Ganesha through use of a statue or 'idol' of Ganesha need not be seen as idol worship. Many Christians pray before statues of saints and even of Jesus, but would never consider this to be idol worship.
