1. All 140,000 prophets were sent to their own people and tribes with languages spoken in those tribes. Prophet Muhammed and other major prophets were sent to Arabs because they were the least open to the message and they were the ones that needed most guidance. Then, as you know, the message spread all over the world and now, around 2 billion Muslims are in this world worshipping Allah. There are multiple talks on the topic that you can find on YT, and I'm sure they will explain it better to you than I did.

2. I don't know what gobbledygook means.

3. The Qur'an says that whatever prophets it sent in whatever area spoke the language they spoke fluently. What's wrong? and YOU ARE SO STUPID!! I ALREADY MADE IT CLEAR THAT IT IS NOT VERIFIED NOR IS IT CLEAR IN ANY WAY. I DONT EVEN BELIEVE IN IT, YOU ALWAYS MISINTERPRET STUFF AND THEN CALL ME OUT FOR IT, SO ANNOYING.

4. I didn't know what it is because I'm no fond of creating divisions in my own people. The Qur'an tells me to be a Muslim and a Muslim ONLY. None less, none more.

5. I asked politely if you performed Idol Worship or not, and look how furious and arrogant you got. You are the person who follows Gods that are the symbol of peace and tolerance, didn't expect this from you.

1. We never said the stone was God, we just look at it as a Holy Stone that came down from heaven.

2. We kiss it because it is The Word of God, and not because it IS God

3. He was no mere human being and no, we don't idolize him, we just love him because he was the chosen one and the last prophet. We don't make idols of him and worship those Idols ringing annoying, stupid bells.

4. We never idolized Meca, don't know where that came from.

5. Call me a fool, but you fools get more attracted to the idols themselves rather than God. You have to see who God is and then can you only believe in him. Our belief in God and his prophet is so strong, we value them more than our lives even though we haven't seen them once.

6. Qibla is basically a direction where Ka'ba is located. Not imaginary, nothing wrong.
