Considering the word "idol" in its famous meanings, there is no idol in Mecca.
There is no idol in Al-Masjid Al-Haram (the Grand mosque) in Mecca or any where else in Mecca. You may mean the building that is surrounded by Al-Masjid Al-Haram, that is called Kaba. However, Kaba is not an idol. It is not for worship. It is holy building to turn around during Hajj or Omra while praying for God and requesting His forgiveness.

Where in the bible Muhammad is mentioned?
Muhammad does not appear in the bible
Answer:
Wrong. Muhammad is foretold in many many places in the Bible. Even his name appears in the Song of Solomon in Hebrew: "Mahammodim" - but has been changed by translators into "altogether lovely".
Go ahead and Google the phrase: Muhammad in the Bible and see how many articles there are on this subject.
Moses spoke of Muhammad in Duteronomy 18:18. A Prophet like Moses, from the bretheren of the Children of Israel. God puts His words in that Prophet's mouth.
Jacob said, in Exodus, that the Law and the Scepter will not pass from Judah until the coming of Shiloh.
Isaiah speaks of The Burden Upon Arabia, and the prophet from Paran.
Daniel, as well, and even Jesus tells about the coming of the "comforter" who "will not speak from himself, but whatsoever he hears from the Father, that shall he speak"
Christian theologians always take these passages and twist them away from Muhammad; but in each and every case it can be proven that these prophecies apply to only Muhammad. There has been an attempt to fool people about Muhammad in the Bible. READ THE PROOFS FOR YOURSELF.
The 'Comforter' was not the Holy Spirit, as the Church said. This was "another comforter" according to Jesus; and one that "the world has not known yet". But the Holy Spirit is only one - there is no other. And the world already knew of the Holy Spirit. The original word for 'comforter' is lost. We don;t have the Gospel in Aramaic, the language of Jesus. As far back as we can go is Greek. there, the word is "Parakletos", meaning 'comforter'. There is another word - "Pirikletos" which is a name. The name is: The Praised. In Hebrew: Hamda; in Arabic: Ahmad.

Why is Muhammad's turning from Jerusalem and facing Mecca called a symbolic break with the past?
Ka'abah at Mecca was rebuilt by Prophet Hazrat Abraham as, and Hazrat Ismail as. It had the place of pilgrimage since their time. Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) was born and brought up in Mecca. He wished that holy Ka'abah should be the symbolic place for the Muslims. While in offering prayer at Madina Munawara, he was ordained by Almighty Allah that his wish/prayer had been granted. Thus during the prayers he and his followers turned their faces from Jerusalem to Mecca.
How did Muhammad's message evolve during the course of his prophetic ministry?
In the beginning Muhammad started to preach a peaceful message with a defensive approach. He even went out of the way to secure freedom to some individuals, who professed faith in Islam and Muhammad's prophethood, from their slave masters. He condemned the prevalent practice of female homicide by the Arab parents in his time. Above all he advanced the notion that God is one and has no daughters or sons or partners, and Muhammad was his prophet. Initially, when he was in his home town, Mecca, his teachings were peaceful and his approach was amicable. It was during this time he brought the revelation, 'There is no compulsion in religion!' (Quran: Sura 2:256).
Despite his meekness, his preaching earned him enough enemies and ultimately he had to flee the city along with his few followers at that stage. He was relocated in another city called Medina where he was welcomed, accommodated and allowed to grow to prominence. As his grip on Arabs grew stronger and stronger, his tone of revelations changed from softer to stricter and harsher. By the end of ten years in Medina Muhammad became the absolute authority. It is during this period Muhammad took on the offensive approach and brought the violent revelations such as, 'Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush.' (Quran: Sura 9:5).

Do all Muslims have to go to Mecca?
The religion of Islam is based upon five 'pillars' of faith, one of which, is pilgrimage to the sacred house in Mecca [ or more correctly "Makkah" ], by the Muslims who have the ability.
Muslims believe that that 'Mecca' is the settlement mentioned in both the Bible and the Qur'aan. The place where Abraham built his house of monotheistic worship to Allah.
Henceforth, all Muslims aspire to make a pilgrimage to this sacred house, at least once in their lifetimes if they are able to as, in Islam, all obligations are dependent upon 'ability', and the obligation is 'lifted' on the one who is unable to perform it.

Who founded the Muslim Church?
There is no such thing as "the Muslim Church", so there are two possible questions that you may have intended by the phrasing of the question:
1) Who founded the religion of Islam?
For many Muslims the term "Islam" has two meanings: the Divine Religion of Submission to God's Will (often called Islam with a small "i") and the Institutionalized Belief as Found in Qur'an and Revealed by Mohammed's Prophecy (often called Islam with a capital "I").
islam with a small "i" is a concept that comes out of Islam with a capital "I" and projects the Established Religion of Islam back into the period before would have identified as Muslim. The purpose of said belief, in a functional sense, is to gird Islam in the history afforded by the Judeo-Christian prophetic lineage and ensure its authenticity. islam also affords the believer in Islam a continuity of tradition which Mohammed only continued and corrected as opposed to having the religion of Islam be an affront or disagreement with other divinely-inspired religions. Since islam is derivative of Islam, it does not actually exist prior to Islam.
Islam, as an Established Religion, was organized and directed by Mohammed, who was born in 570 C.E. at Mecca, in Saudi Arabia. According to Islam, he received revelations from God in Mecca in from the year 610-632 C.E. He was supported by several family members like his uncle Ali Ibn Talib and his first wife Khadija to pursue these prophecies. He converted other members to his nascent religion before being expelled from Mecca to Yethrib (now known as Medina) in 622 C.E. When Mohammed became the Chief Hakam or Judge/Administrator of Yethrib, he received many new revelations and began to ask members of his community to memorize these revelations (along with prior ones). These memorizers (in Arabic Hafeths) would eventually be responsible for the creation of one unified Qur'an. By Mohammed's death, he had conquered all of Arabia and converted most of Arabia to his new faith, establishing the grounds for an Islamic Caliphate, which succeeded him.
2) Who founded the centralized structure of Islam?
Islam does not currently have a centralized structure. Sunni Islam is congregationalist while Shiite and Ibadi Islam are regionally organized (similar to Orthodox Christianity).
However, Islam once had a centralized structure and its form of the Caliphate was founded partially by Muhammad himself in his function as a cleric and a statesman. After his death, the position formalized as an authoritarian religious leader and the position became one recognized only by Sunnis. Non-Sunnis (Shiites, Kharijites, and Ibadis) became more regionally organized. However, the centralized authority of the Caliphate was broken in the 900s C.E. when the expelled Umayyads in Spain proclaimed a Caliphate in addition to the centrally recognized one by the Abbassids. This situation of there being a central Caliph and weaker competitor caliphs continued until the 1930s when Turkish President Ataturk abolished the Caliphate and made Sunni Islam a congregationalist religion.
