In religion, statues are usually created for people to worship. For example, Christians worship statues of Jesus. However, this practice is forbidden in Islam as the worshipping of statues is considered to be the worshipping of idols (and Muslims are only supposed to worship Allah). Thus, statues, sculptures, and other similar items are forbidden for the purpose of worship.

What's the difference between "handicapped" and "disabled"?
Although you may see the words "[x]-handicapped," this term is considered offensive or discriminatory by people with disabilities. It is always better to use the term "disabled" in its place. Thus, "physically disabled" is preferable to "physically handicapped." Additionally, avoid using "differently-abled," "handicap," "wheelchair-bound," and "normal" in reference to disabilities. Ex: A ramp was installed for wheelchair users. (Wheelchair-bound = not okay, wheelchair users = ok) Ex: The school is a specialized school for students with disabilities. (Handicapped = no okay, disabled = ok)

What does "go about sth" mean?

Is it different to say "they are coming to visit" from just "they are coming"?
Yes, the connotation is slightly different. We usually use "coming for a visit" to indicate that there is a purpose for the visit, such as meeting friends, family, conducting business, and so on. The verb "to come" is more simple and only includes the definition of moving or going closer to something. Thus, we usually use "come for a visit" or "visiting" to describe the act of calling upon others. Ex: I invited my friends to come for a visit this weekend. They have never visited my city before. Ex: I'm coming into work late because there was a lot of traffic.
