you can always answer to those non-muslims that kaaba is just direction for prayers. it is just a structure being place of prayer.
and why it is not considered idol worship. not a single stance in prayers that muslims ask through the kaaba to send message to God, its directly praying and asking to God.

[Mohammed.Rashid]

Dear, they and I know that but i m trying to explain a hidden message y God has forbidden idol worship(for mankind in general) or making a replica of kaaba for us u can say. Read it thoroughly before replying friend.

Sculptures  and images of the Creator are not needed in worship, and this is what the Creator have decreed since past covenants till the seal covenant. the reason is pretty simple actually.
Something to be worshiped that is visible in front of them, created by humans themselves yet cant become superior than humans that created the object.

And the people of Musa (Moses) made in his absence, out of their ornaments, the image of a calf (for worship). It had a sound (as if it was mooing). Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to the way? They took it (for worship) and they were Zalimun (wrong-doers). (7:148)

Then they turned to themselves (their first thought and said): "Indeed you [Ibrahim (Abraham)] know well that these (idols) speak not!"  (21:65)

Do don't go to hajj as kaaba it is created by humans too. Try to understand my message dear before replying. The idol worship is a symbol of materialism otherwise Allah would have allowed mankind to worship the replica of kaaba. As Allah cannot be see see or even imagined
Quran 6:103 - No vision can grasp Him, but His Grasp is over all vision. He is the Most Subtle and Courteous, Well-Acquainted with all things.

Leave Allah even His creation is beyond the comprehension of human mind.

Quran 40:57 - The creation of the heavens and the earth is indeed greater than the creation of mankind, yet most of mankind know not.

Also read my article here the creation of Al-Azeem if u r interested.

Finally, can u tell me ur age so that I can save my time.

As'salamu Alaikum dear brothers,

We Muslims don't worship the Kaaba.  Any Muslim who rubs his body against it to gain blessings is committing an act of idol worship.  The Kaaba is the HOUSE of GOD Almighty on earth.  It is a Temple and not an idol.  We Muslims don't worship the Kaaba.  We instead bow to Allah Almighty in the direction of the Kaaba.

The idol worshipers such as hindus who make idols of elephants and other animals to represent certain Characteristics of GOD Almighty (ex: the elephant is a representation of a GOD that hears because the elephant has big ears) are not like the Muslims who bow to GOD Almighty in the direction of His House, the Kaaba.

Any Muslim who tries to make Islam like the hindu religion, such as putting a Kaaba idol on his desk at work, for example, is committing an act of idol worship by this ignorance, because he is now making the Kaaba something worthy of worship, and/or a representation of GOD Almighty, and/or an object to gain blessings from by putting it on his desk.

Walaikumsalam brother osama,

I had written that they know & I know that kaaba is not the idol.U got my message wrong &  I think the topic should have been - IDOL WORSHIP the symbol of materialism. Why only kaaba every mosque is called as the house of GOD but we all muslims believe that Kaaba is the supreme one. Try to understand the point y idol-worship is forbidden & The message behind it.Didn't Allah made angels to bow before Adam. Allah could have told muslims to make an idol of adam or replica of kaaba to bow before it. Worship and bowing is two different things and it is proven by the verse of Quran that I had mentioned Quran 2:34 & Quran 9:31. Quran 9:31 says that "christians and jews worshipped their monks & leaders ". How idol worship and shirk is inter-connected. We all know that jews and christians don't worship them but they had done so  by obeying whatever they said to them blindly. Now I hope u got my point!!! 

Jazak Allah khayr,

That is a theory where you create a situation where Allah could have give commands to bow down (not necessarily means worship, just respect) to idols for e.g statue of Adam and Kaaba maybe by placing them in houses. But Allah do not do so due to it being a symbol of materialism in many places.
But then again, non-muslim can simply claim that Muslims are worshiping a symbol of materialism not in many places but concentrated only in one place.

~~~
that is why we just say to them Kaaba is simply a structure. It has a door, stairs to rooftop. If you are inside the structure. You can bow and pray towards any direction.
