Why Mecca is considered a holy place for Muslims?

Mecca, the city is considered a holy place for Muslims. Kaaba (or Caaba), a small stone building that contains the Black Stone, which Muslims believe was sent from heaven by Allah (God) and considered Holy. Now why does Muslims oppose idol worship when they consider material things like city and stone are holy or godly? Hindus also believe in same thing what Muslims believe in. Here is the science behind the idol worship. Before the idol worship starts, the worshiper invite's God's energy to reside in the idol during prana prathista (literally means installing the life) ritual. The idol is transformed to divinity then. Idol is actually an interface to communicate with God's energy. There are many incidents that has happened in the history where the idol has reacted to devotee's devotion. Vedas not only talk about nirguna (formless attributes of God) at many places but also talks in terms of saguna, the supreme divine form with attributes. Agama which explains the prescribes method to do icon worship also explain that the God is formless and is of the nature of pure existence, consciousness and bliss sat-chit-ananda. So it is not opposing what Vedas tell.
