Question

Hello to Rabbi Michael Abraham, may he live long and well.
If God is omnipotent, then He is capable of developing emotions (or attributes, in Kabbalah), and perhaps even of incarnating as a human being. More than that: if one claims that God cannot incarnate as a human being, that is heresy—heresy against God’s power. (And this is not a logical contradiction devoid of meaning.) If so, then God can also split into several divine beings with form (as the Hindus believe), and certainly into mighty entities like the various pagan idols. After all, they merely determined that the Creator of the world has shape and form and bears another name.
However, there one could argue that the pagans believe in gods who struggle and are equal to one another; the divine cannot (or more accurately, has no reason to) struggle with itself. But regarding Christian or Hindu belief, and some pagan beliefs, it sounds more plausible. It turns out, then, that there is no such thing as idolatry—so what is it?
I answered myself that idolatry is relating to God in a different way and demanding commands from Him that never entered His mind. If so, why did the halakhic decisors not include Islam in the category of idolatry?
