Since many forms of art were banned because of the belief in the Quran, why did the government seem to think works of art would be worshiped instead of Allah?

  1. As I understand it, the banned art forms are those that replicate living creatures. Most Muslim art is geometric, and therefore abstract. As such, they provided nothing that could be worshipped.


  2. You'll find many religions, not just Islam, forbids or frowns on certain forms of art and imagery.  Many times its because art is viewed as an idol, and should not be valued with any degree of veneration.  It's seen as a distraction from worshiping their god.
