2 - I labeled it as shirk because this is what the Qur'an tells us. The mushriks of Prophet (sal-allahu 'alayhi wa salam) times did the same thing: prayed directly to their idols. What did the Qur'an say about them? What is the difference between them or Hindus or Christians (who pray to Jesus) and those Muslims who hold such belief? 5 - Would it change your aqeedah if i refute al-Haddad's article or post a lengthy response? I don't think so because you're a blind follower of al-kawthari group. Please don't make me even start about al-kawthari.

No one is praying to the idols, you are only assuming things about other muslims who don't agree with you on certain things and this is just sad.
in other thread you were calling me rafai and now you're calling me kawthri, make up your mind.
